I don’t know about you, but when I carry I defer to others. My handgun is for the protection of my life. I would never get into a pissing match over my place in line.

Deadly force is not appropriate for the purpose of winning an argument or defending one’s honor. And certainly not legal for the same.

When I carry I am low key and in control of myself. I will take a personal insult rather than risk an escalation which will result in deadly force. It is the responsibility which comes with the power of a firearm.

If I were to get into an argument which escalates to my being pepper sprayed and I answer with deadly force, I risk being convicted of voluntary manslaughter. If you don’t believe me, ask a lawyer.

If that doesn’t seem far, that’s too bad.

It’s the law.

***Seems like if a person’s gonna carry deadly force, they should have nonlethal force as well.
