[QUOTE="soberups, post: 805951, member: 14668"] The [I]only[/I] circumstances under which I would fire my weapon at another person would be if my life or the life of a loved one was in imminent danger. At that point, [I]any[/I] consequences I might have to deal with after the fact would be preferable to being dead or having to attend the funeral of the loved one whom I was unable to protect. Being armed does not change my behavior and it will not affect my thought process as far as how to avoid or escape from a life-threatening situation. My gun is a final option that will[I] only[/I] be employed as an absolute last resort when all other means of resolving the situation have been exhausted. The gun is only a small part of an overall plan for personal security that [I]begins[/I] with good decision making, situational awareness, detachement from ego, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid or remove oneself from potentially hostile situations[I] before[/I] they become violent. I am grateful for the fact that in almost 14 years of having a permit I have never even had to draw my gun, much less point it at anybody. And my goal is to [I]keep[/I] it that way. [/QUOTE]
