There is much in the article that I consider to be the common sense my momma taught me. I guess to me I have always been aware of my surroundings and make an effort to not put myself in what could be a dangerous (or could become dangerous) situation. In the areas where CCW is in effect, I am not bothered that people carry.... in fact I prefer it. I have a weapon and a permit but I don’t carry precisely because in the classes I have taken I learned that there are situations in which I am too slow on the trigger. I have always carried my trusty mag lite with me (small one).
But I don’t go out of my way to sit in a corner with back to wall so I can eye everyone. I do sit in the center of a theater row because I like the view better. But you will never ( and have never) found me at a midnight showing of anything. I did not take my children to movies that were rated higher than their age level.... and sometimes I wouldn’t even take them to some that were ‘rated’ PG or PG-13 because I thought the movie to be trash.
I admit I grew up in a different time. What I know is that my daughter learned my values and carries them with her today.
I also admit I do not go to the movies much anymore because the audiences are really annoying.
Yep.... Nothing new here.
Stay safe !
