Why is it so complicated to get a simple point across on this board?
Ok, fine you would have been mister super hero that would have blasted all of the bad guys. COOL! Fine Captain America, more power to you. Since we’re talking hypotheticals instead of reality, I hope you and Charles Bronson hang out in front of every county fair in the country.
On the other hand it does absolutely nothing for everyone to chime in about what a ninja they are when my 16 year old goes to the mall!
Now, could there POSSIBLY be any other recourse for decent people other than beating our chests on a message board?
LMAO
“Now, could there POSSIBLY be any other recourse for decent people other than beating our chests on a message board?”
The answer is “Yes....shoot the bastards!”
You seem to be the one that can’t get the “simple point”.
Militant
When armed citizens do shoot violent criminals, it has a big effect on the other local perps. It chills them out. That does help your 16 year old at the mall: the knowledge by would-be violent criminals that they might get shot by that 50 year old guy across the kiosk when they pull a knife.
So yes, your 16 year old son does benefit from the “Charles Bronsons” actions.
You are the one who is missing the point.

I made it very clear that I would not have "blasted" all the bad guys. But I also wouldn't let them rough me up and almost kill me either. That is the power of concealed carry. 99% of the time, you pull out the gun, prepared to use it, and you don't have to use it. Just having it available is good enough.

You might think that, but my reality is that if I see 6 or 7 taking on one kid, what I do depends on whether I am armed. If I am armed, I stop the fight, before the one kid gets badly hurt. If I am not armed, I protect my own safety first & call 911 on my cell phone. This may or may not do anything for your kid.

You might not like this, but it is your responsibility to be part of the solution, not part of the hide your head in the sand and hope it goes away problem. You need to fill out the application, take the test and learn to carry.
