So you better predict 2-1/4 years in advance when you’ll really, really need a gun handy.
The article mentions a woman with a stalker. She doesn’t have twenty-eight months.
When I lived in SoCal, a deputy told me to carry my gun, just please don’t tell them about it. If I tell an officer I have a gun in my car, he’ll have to search the car and take the gun. The deputy said they don’t need the paperwork, so keep quiet.
He told me I fit no current profiles, there would be no reason to suspect I had a weapon. And nobody really cared if I did.
And he made one more request: if I were ever forced to shoot a Bad Guy, please make sure I hit him so he would be ‘marked for identification ‘.
