Re: Bizarre
Bizarre is the fact, for the first time in decades, I can sit outside on the porch, and not worry about evil.
I can do this without a CCW.
Heck, I fell asleep out on the porch, recently, and awoke at 2am.
You folks do not realize how much this means to me.
I am dead serious.
I moved to a place, not even big enough to have a dot on most maps. Nobody, knows who I am or anything about what I am quite familiar with, in regard to serious, high risk "bidness"
I had trouble sleeping the first few nights I moved, simply because it was quiet.
No gunshots, sirens, flashing lights...
There are different models of criminals, and no offense, still many of you are simply not worth their time, for what they get in return.
You have stood next to them, and never knew these ladies, or gents, were criminals.
Some of us, have experiences, with models of criminals, you will never have.
Our World, Environment, Tasks...etc.
Just like I was never a cop, or worked in a Corrections facility. Criminals often want payback, and these professionals have concerns that I do not have.
You don't have to be the cop that put someone in jail, or even be a corrections person where someone was doing time.
Some families, and friends just want a piece of your butt simply because you are/were a cop, or worked in Corrections.
I guarantee you, these professionals do not advertise, instead give the perceptions they choose to.
CCW Badge, you have to be nuts!
Law Enforcement, Corrections, Armored Car Guards, Fire Dept and other Professionals - use two wallets.
They do not want to have folks see a "badge", if they have to show ID or get something from a wallet.
Me?
Everyone has a price.
Bad enough me and mine had serious concerns with professional thugs, along with the other model of criminals, we also had folks, that could be bought.
Me and mine took some serious, prudent, preventive measures.
Bad enough I or mine have something of value with us, just kidnap us to force us to give information, or gain access to things, or force others to give information or gain access to , or...
It does not take a rocket scientist to see a hotel maid, is sorta down on her luck.
Add some folks cannot keep mouths shut.
Maybe she has a sick kid, and her car needs some repair...
Some BS story about wanting to surprise a old college roommate, or whatever, and you can have folks come in on you.
I use[d] aliases, drove different vehicles, and used vehicles with plates of the state I was in and all sorts of things.
One year at the World Shoot, a lot of vehicles were busted into.
Duh.
Out of town plates, a World Shoot going on, which means guns, and even the dumbest crook could figure out this dealie.
One year, I arrived via private plane, and attended in a vehicle with TX tags... another time I drove in using one of our vehicles with TX tags.
I and mine looked anything but, "shooters with guns".
Don't look like prey- think like a criminal.
Here is the reality.
Folks restricted (age, country, politics, legislative) are more prone to be victims.
Folks that are in high-risk industries, are more prone to be victims.
Folks in illegal activities, and associate with such folks, are prone to be victims.
You darn right I and mine carried a gun concealed indoors, and we had one handy, including the bathroom.
Which leads me to think , I need to do a another thread topic.
Not only for Pro Gun, also for Fence Sitters, and Anti's something to misquote and skew more data about.
I know some THR members, including Staff.
I assure you, many of you would never have any idea who we are, much less that we are "gun folks".
Ladies and Gents we are, and I know you would not.
Because we have surprised some folks.
I have been known to steal wives, and girlfriends and take off with them in their cars.
I come in handy sometimes.

But, keeping a gun under a towel within fairly handy reach seems not-too-unreasonable. Finally, if you really feel you need to have something serious at your disposal in the shower, I'd suggest thinking about a sheathed diving knife. Waterproof and formidable, it's only lacking in the ability to go "bang."
