"People are suspicious of what they do not know-and not only does this man not know how to use a gun, he doesn't know the men who do, or the number of people who have successfully used one to defend themselves from injury or death. But he is better left in the dark; his life is hard enough knowing there are men out there who don't sit cross-legged. That they're able to handle a firearm instead of being handled by it would be too much to bear. "
The predators search for "men" like she described. The easy prey. Nothing can completely prepare for that sudden attack. It will come at the most compromised moment of life and will be the hardest to defend against. We practice and try to be aware of surroundings...but still, it comes.
I've been lucky because it hasn't come to me...yet. I'm 63 and now into the time of life that puts the most stress/likelihood of danger of deadly confrontation. I just hope my luck doesn't run out.
At this point, I don't expect to ever become "that kind of man" in her article.
You noticed my screen name. Its what I aspire to be.
And I've come quite close to being attacked a number of other times. I've hit a few people, and shown others my pistol, muzzle first. If anybody but the closest relatives or good friends is within 5 yds of you, you'd better have your guard up. Ditto when walking thru known risky areas, like parking lots, alleys, bars, public restrooms, even if you "think' that nobody else is present.
Then there is the kind that doesn't want to dirty himself with carrying a gun. It's so pedestrian! He'd rather hire someone to do the dirty job of protecting him and his.
-And don't forget the ones that don't think that you should be armed. You don't believe what he believes and you don't belong to the right clubs. You don't even belong to the right political party. Why, come the revolution, you might resist all of the necessary changes!
