I am almost 71 years old.
In my adult lifetime, I have had to show a handgun seven times to discourage potential criminal behavior directed towards me.
Never had to shoot anyone, but in every case, I was mentally prepared to do so.
So far, letting the “bad guys” know I was armed has worked.
I am a firm believer in the “Colt equalizer” theory of social interaction.
One of the reasons crime’s going down is risk involved in being a criminal is up - as more citizens become armed. . JoeCriminal doesn’t know if he’s running into Taxman or some liberal guy who would never even own a gun. ‘Not knowing for sure’ - makes all safer...
