Title: If she only knew
Post by: 38-40 on May 29 2022 09:13:01 PM MDT
So was shopping with the wife and this (I?ll call her lady) is talking about the shooting in Texas and ranting on the phone about gun control. Anyway lm putting stuff in the cart when she steps next to me. to reach something on the shelf within 2 feet of me on my carry side. I thought wow if she knew how close she was to a loaded firearm she would probably have wet her pants. 🤣. Made me wonder how often something like this happens.

Just wish you, or someone like you would have had an opportunity to take the looser out before the deaths piled up. 

Gun free zones just don't work.

I wouldn?t wish that on anyone LEO or otherwise. I have been a firefighter first responder for over 35 years and taking a life would not be easy. The flip side is I have been protecting people from danger most of my life. My plan is to protect and evacuate as many as I could from the hot zone would I in gage to accomplish that yes I would but I would not be hunting a shooter simply because I?m not trained for that. I hope that is the goal of all firearm carriers.

Not saying I would wish that on anyone.  I'll run if I got the chance if a bad guy confronted me. 

If kids were getting mowed down, I would hope I'd look at taking the "eliminate the threat" option, hope that I had the nerve.  Facing a rifle with a hand gun is a fools game, but one old guy (me) traded for a number of youngsters seems like a winner overall.
