Well that's just bollocks. When do you suppose your concealed carry weapon will come in handy then?
When I can't retreat.
Which hasn't happened yet.
But which could happen at any moment.
Though you were shot at once you were able to escape from harm.
Good luck, not good strategy or tactics.
I'm disappointed. Your concealed carry has done you no good at all, except as a pacifier for your fear.
The fervent hope of every person I know who carries a gun, any gun, is that they will never have to be forced to use it, so the fact that you think concealed carry "had done you no good at all" is completely false. And what's wrong with a tool that reduces ones fear of being killed by someone else being a "pacifier?" If I can walk the streets more confidently because I'm armed and therefore unafraid of the potential of street crime that's a good thing.
In Canada we have learned to face our fears without having to carry around little totems to prop up our courage.
No, you have learned to live in denial of the very real risks you face and you have authorized your government to disarm you and forbid you from carrying arms even if you want to. There's nothing remotely courageous about that. In fact, that is cowardice of the highest order because you try to characterize your status as an unarmed slave to Queen and Country as a courageous act in defiance of criminals and terrorists, and yet you have police and military who are armed and who you expect to take a bullet for you. That's cowardice by any measure.
If you weren't cowards you would disarm your police and military and live a pacifist life of no resistance whatever to crime or terrorism. You would passively watch as some thug rapes and murders your young children and wife before your eyes, and you wouldn't raise a finger to protect them because that would be violence.
But you are cowards, and if someone tries to rape and murder your family and the thug happens to get careless with his illegal handgun and you can lay hands on it it's my firm opinion that you, like every other gun-banning coward, would pick it up and shoot the bastard dead in a heartbeat, which makes you a gross hypocrite as well.
You talk the talk but you do not walk the walk, and so your opinions are of no value or importance whatsoever.
