What other uses for carrying firearms can we think of other than defense from wild animals and human predators?
I was driving across a bridge with low guard rail the other day and thought what if I jumped the barrier, in my crappy car the electric windows only work half the time under the best conditions….. that is not being submerged in water. A carry weapon would allow me to have easy access to a way to break the glass once the pressure was close to equalizing.
I have also read an Ayoob article where he mentioned a guy who had lost his arm/hand some body part in some machine, the guy was convinced that if he had been in possession of his .44 he could have shoot the motor or other device and saved his limb. Ayoob also mentioned the use on domestic “animals gone wild†in the form of a bull, trust me it does not take a 2000 lb bull a simple 1000 lb cow once tossed me 12 feet in the air with a quick flip of her neck, and then she came back for seconds…… my pappys quick reactions and a shovel handle made her change her mind, though reluctantly.
Any other ideas on ways a carry weapon can be useful in these not so ordinary occations or maybe these are more ordinary ways than defense from attackers, matters how you look at it. I am always looking for other reasons to carry as well as situtations I can think about before I get into them.
