No worries

I am nearly unoffendable. Used to be called normal, but I think now it’s “alt-right?” I don’t really know. I don’t have Fecalbook or any of the other socialist medias.
I was knowledgeable on firearms safety even before the Marines. I fully agree with “no reason to not carry to be ready.” My opinion on that though, however you do carry, be trained. I’ve got friends who carry full HK9’s with 2 extra mags, or a SCCY CP2, 1911’s, and one of my end-of-the-world friends has a big stupid jacket on all the time to hide his folding AR9. I ran women’s and children’s gun safety classes back in my previous home town too. Some of my friends carry and they don’t train or practice shoot. They fumble around when we do go to the range and it’s obvious they need to familiarize. Those of us who train, all train different and it works for us individually.
My mindset is, if I’m knowingly going into a dangerous area, knowing there are guns which are not in friendly hands; 1. Why am I in this situation. 2. If it’s necessary, I will put one in the pipe. 3. Situational awareness and is there a way to avoid a firearm use situation.
My everyday carry to Home Depot and then to the grocery store, stopping at a friends for some help in the shop and then home… I’m fine with Israeli carry. If I am the first one shot in some public shooter situation, what’s the chance I saw it coming and didn’t have time to take cover to assess the situation. If I hear a gun pop in Home Depot, I have a cover rich environment to escape and evade. To save and protect those who cannot. Situation will always dictate and nobody can predict the future. When I train someone new on how to carry, I present options and let them feel out what’s best for them. That’s the beauty of self protection! What are you comfy with and what let’s you be happy knowing you can react accordingly.
