Yea the whole three step thing is (or was) obviously,
just a rule of thumb, NOT a law.
The incident I spoke of earlier was pretty surreal
as it went down.
My guess is IF this guy (who was in the residence when he started his crap)
was armed at that time, we all might of been dead.
I think it was more of alcohol talking for this dude
than anything else
as he was becoming pretty belligerent and we called him a cab.
I guess he just didn't like the idea we wanted him to leave.
(We hurt his feelings, I guess)...
I think if people voluntarily follow this because they find it useful, they're probably too stupid, uninformed, and impulsive to be carrying a gun in the first place?
Nice comment... Not all of us walk around locked and loaded with guns in our sidekick
holsters 24/7 'worrying' that the next person we see is going to do us harm.
Paranoid much? lol
Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with being prepared,
but I'm quit aware of how to assess my surroundings and if need be...
adjust my 'readiness' to fit the situation.
It's really not that hard to do.
Furthermore, were I live now I don't usually find myself surrounded by the criminal element.
We don't even lock our doors and strangers still say hello and thank you when passing.
Really nice little town, full of gun owners too I'm sure.
With that said, if I'm in a gun free zone around here and some BG goes to shooting...
I'm sure I'll of wished I was armed in the building, whether legal or not.
Maybe, some folks still live in a really bad neighborhood or city,
so they are so paranoid that they feel they MUST be at DEFCON 4, 24/7?
It's sad and that's probably the case for many.
Personally I'm glad I removed my family from the almost war zone situation
we faced in South Florida.
Hopefully others will be as fortunate as I and be able to remove their families from harms way.
Or maybe our politicians will get a back bone and start
reforming laws to further deter would be thugs.
And why don't you let us know how that three step thing works when the bad guy has a gun and won't let you get you your car/truck
I see your point. I/we could be dead or possibly harmed.
I hope that this small minority that has made the rest of us law abiding
citizens suffer ridiculous restrictions don't become the majority.
In THAT scenario this rabbit will carry EVERYWHERE, regardless of insane restrictive laws.
Little side note:
The 'Jug' is a real bar out in the woods close to the Itchatucnee river.
(Yes I also still own a home in N. Florida, Colombia County)...
Been there many times and it may be that the
members of Lynard Skinner had been there as well...
and this song is a true story.
Back into the day all were welcome, bikers pot heads, red necks you name it.
Really cool little place and yes we all had guns.
Back to your regularly scheduled program.
