never seen one that was balanced…,
and I think that I will have much to say. None should leave there w/o a balanced presentation.[/QUOTE]
of course there's always a first time for everything I guess, but I agree, none should leave there w/o a balanced presentation. I'm gonna say they will…, leave there w/o a balanced presentation, that is.
I may go, but I really need the sleep. The seemingly endless introductions and resume's usually cause me to seek slumber, followed by what usually happens when they get an active shooter call, which means basically that if you somehow escape or survive the shooter/s then you will somehow have to escape/survive being shot/rousted/interrogated/detained by the police until they can finish having trouble distinguishing the good guys from the bad guy/s. Then the media will try to have their way with you because, you know, the scoop, the ratings!
Most of the people I've seen at these things are folks that can't seem to make up their minds and would prefer the police to do it for them, some of them just really want the police to tell'em it's okay to just draw yer heater and shout "Say yer prayers varmint, cause I'm gonna blast ya'!!!", some usually can't believe that they need to worry about it "HERE", where ever THAT is!?!?! These folks suffer from a huge "Normalcy Bias", oh that wouldn't happen here, not to me/us, not now, and are forever trying to close the barn doors after the cows are already gone. Then, THEN, they REALLY wanna DO SOMETHING!!!
It's just my thought, my opinion, my "feeling" (for those who might be into that), my practice that I've made my decision what I'm going to do, what, when and where I'm going to carry and position myself where I feel I can be most "productive" based on what I believe, what I know, what I've read, and what I've learned. Then you can be sure I will be as relentless as the Lord will allow me to be.
I have decided that the state mandated employee training which says that terrorist seek targets where large numbers of people gather, and they include places of worship (and there are MANY well documented cases of such things happening at places of worship) will be MY good and sufficient reason for carrying regardless of what anyone else thinks. If anyone objects to it, I'll be glad to listen to their opinion.., as long as they are willing to listen to mine. I don't need these meetings, I've made my decision.
I also don't like the idea of calling up to tell them I'm coming, but if you want me to be your mouth piece Grape, I'll go and do my best for ya', but ya' gotta let me know soon, I gotta get some sleep sometime.

we are not equal, we will never be equal, but we must be relentless.
