As some of you may be aware Tuesday there was an active shooter incident here in Arkansas. This one struck a little close to home for me as my father works at the locale where this happened (he was out at the time)
As a recent chl licencee I really didn't place too much priority into the possibility of finding myself in a gunfight. Rather I viewed my chl as a freedom exercise and possibly a useful tool against a dog attack or some other situation that seemed more likely to me. In fact I wondered if I was even being unduley paranoid for even carrying. Then Tuesday happened!
Now I'm not so sure my short inaccurate seven shot pf9 I edc In a pocket is as useful as I thought it was. Now I feel compelled to carry a full sized handgun if at all possible. To carry those spare mags I used to scoff at you guys suggesting and to train for speed and accuracy at every oppurtunity.
Yesterday I learned it CAN happen to you or a loved one and you'd for damn sure be better off ready for it if it does
