Concealed Carry Myths I like.
- Carry Only When Needed
- Empty Chambers are Happy Chambers
- Women Should Only Shoot .22s/38s/
- Practice Gun Zen
- Hand Me Down That Gun
I am certain my face shows distress when I hear someone say they have a
CCW permit but they “…only carry it when I think I might need it.” My
patent answer to that statement is, “If you think you are going to need a
gun, don’t go there.” Or more aptly, “If you know you need a gun you
should take a rifle or a shotgun, not a concealed handgun.”
Agreed, even I have said it. Now I try to just add it to my daily dressing schedule!
Better yet, go there with friends with rifles.
ReplyDeleteOr even better, stand off a few miles and call in an arty strike.
The "I'll only carry it where I think I might need it" mindset just kills me.
Have they not heard of Von Maur? Virginia Tech?
All 'good' myths... sigh...
ReplyDeleteWe need to pick a weekend in the year and plant it as National Take a Friend to the Range Day!
ReplyDeleteAll ranges would have open houses and have gregarious folks walking and talking to new shooters. Hmmmmm?? Brilliant...
