I think this statistical thing is the anchor of American society. It is true...99-percent of society have never shot or even aimed a weapon at anyone. When you do find people who say they have...they are typically former military or cops (probably in the 90-percent range). So you come to this group of .01-percent who are regular people who had an intruder in the house or someone threatening them in the parking lot.
But you can use the other statistics as well. If you live in Chicago, there’s a one in 10,000 chance that tonight while you fill your car up with gas at 11PM....you might get shot. If you were in Coos Bay, OR....at the gas station at 11PM, it’s a one in a billion chance that you will get shot.
If you hang out with Meth-heads....it’s a one in a thousand chance that you might get shot. If you hang around Jewish Rabbis, it’s probably a one in a trillion chance you will get shot.
If you are a non-believer, and hanging around 100 Muslims in the middle of Ramadan....with all of them holding pistols...what do you think your odds are then?
I was driving up highway 191 in the state that has the least amount of people in it.
Wyoming.
I looked in my ‘m mirror to check traffic behind me.
A guy in a Cadillac escalade was driving like a manic.
He started accelerating towards me and I kept thinking that he would pass me on the left.
I had to go to the left because if I hadn’t, he would rearended me.
He went into the ditch and when he straightened out he began to accelerate again.
Using my knee to drive,I held my pistol up in clear view, I chambered a round to let him know that I was loaded.
As soon as he saw that, he backed off.
I pulled over when I saw some
HPs and he drove on.
My one and only time I used a weapon to defend myself
