re: Concealed Carry License + mental health

You get tired of carrying. Carried 11 years as a Leo. Becomes a boat anchor once the newness thrill wears off.

I can’t believe that dude in mandeville at the gas station got off. He played policeman. Had multiple opportunities to end it but went back out started copying down plate numbers causing crazy guy to get BACK out his truck and ESCLALATE once again. Should have locked the store and waited for pd.

I carry in vehicle, with ammo that can penetrate my glass and still have structure to go on and stop bad guy. Extreme situational awareness, i do not miss anything. I do not go places i should not. No display of political stickers, group belonging stickers, nothing.
I carry extremely effective non lethal weapons which i have had used on me in the academy and in-service qual.. Full faith in it.

However, if i am caught in a bad situation in a restaurant or gas station, i do hope one of yall are there to fight back. I will admit that. I just don’t care to go thru all that application process, and once you do kill, $ 100,000 minimum of your retirement savings gone in wrongfull death suit brought by perp’s family.

For me, i know human psych very well, can anticipate and read people, and nothing going on around me goes un noticed.
