This is mostly rhetorical: Do you fight back when attacked?

I’ve rethought what my personal reaction would be if there was an attack of some sort. I was a casual CC individual...but since this insane muzzie terrorist threat is so prevalent....I’m now a religious CCer.

That being said, only if the incident effects me, or my immediate family, would I react with deadly force. Most of the people I would *save* by taking out a killer would be hiLIEry/Hussein voters .... it’s not worth all the trouble.

Definitely agree.
Fine line between carrying and using.
Sometimes you hear of a cop opening fire and hitting 3 or 4 innocent bystanders - and that just because someone didn’t say ‘yes sir’ to him.

I, as a conscientious carrier would NEVER fire into a crowd UNLESS someone was firing out of the crowd and hitting people.
Then I would be reluctant.

I am on the road a lot and carry whether or not one is supposed to - where my travels take me local I don’t need it but it seems where you do need it, you can’t have it. That has to be more than a coincidence.

Mind you, when I said ‘I am drawn to the fire or gunfire’ doesn’t necessarily mean I will do anything when I get there, that remains to be seen at the scene. BUT I do know I am not going to arbitrarily run away.

I still do some deliveries at banks and when I take time to ‘talk’ to the manager I do let him(them) know that I am armed and if something happens and I ‘seemingly’ have a ‘heart attack’ and am rolling on the floor - crying or sobbing or whatever’ that I am merely trying to get in a good position and get my hands where they need to be.
At least that is the plan. DEFINITELY need a prospective plan - if you are going to carry.

Yes, fight back. When I was at Domino’s, a couple of big ol’ football player types thought it would be fun to jump the pizza guy. They got more of a fight than they expected. Yes, I ended up with two cracked ribs, a broken wrist and 30 staples in my head, but that wasn’t MY blood on the back of my car.

A couple days ago, a cop told me they didn’t think most people who carry would shoot an attacker. I disagreed.
