I have seen this article before and came across it again in a Hardee's thread. I think that everyone that decides to carry should read it and since we have so many new people coming on it needs to be posted again.

Thanks for sharing, I missed this as I perused the site since I joined earlier this year.

Very good read and pretty much espouses the same intelectual thought proccess I followed when I was determining how I would carry. I shall have to forward this to my father, he doesn't carry at all (only recently bought a Rem 870 for home defense) but seems to lean heavily toward CC when we talk.

That was quite well written and well argued; I have to say that I agree with most of it.

I carry because I can. Heck, in this world you're crazy not to. Even cops don't carry to stop criminals.....they do it for self-defense. Should be some kind of sign:uhoh:

Ditto. Women carry mace and pocket knives and batons just-in-case all the time.

I feel that guns exist and that the right of a citizen to keep and bare arms provides a balance of power between citizen and state. Their existence being necessary in a free state provides that just like drugs, if someone wants to attain one, they will find the means. And the the best defense to those criminals is a good offense. If you can't deal with it move to a country that makes self-defense illegal. I'm sure you will "feel" much safer.:uhoh:
