Well, I guess you would have to consider the trade-offs. Like, for instance, if you’re at work and someone comes in and threatens everyone with a gun. There’s a stand-off and after a few hours or whatever, he’s finally taken into custody. (it’s a scenario that I’ve read about several times, in Portland). Now, people waited and then after it was over, everyone goes back to work.
But, let’s say you’ve got a gun, you take it out and shoot the guy, instead. Now, he’s down (who knows..., maybe dead) and he’s taken out of there. The next thing you know, you’re out of a job. Well, I guess the tradeoff is would you rather have kept the job and just waited — or shot him and lose the job. That’s the kind of situation that I’m talking about.
Again, it’s not in areas where one is allowed to carry a concealed weapon. That’s not the problem. The problem is when you carry it on a job where they are gong to fire you. Or you carry on school grounds where they will arrest you. Or you carry it on a university that bans it and they will suspend you. Those are the areas that I was discussing.
So, the question would be, is it worth becoming a felon, carrying on school grounds? Is it worth being suspended from the university for having it on campus? Is it worth losing the job for having it at work?
And if the person says yes to felony, suspension, lost job — then you’ve already made up your mind...

In nearly all cases...I'd rather be alive....
And knowing I stopped some stealing, lying, robbing, murdering, rapist, loser oxygen pirate.
Are you really saying you'd be afraid of a felony or a little suspension...opposed to being dead?
Maybe you have a different mind-set than I.
