Feel free to shit on me and tell me how wrong I am. You’re probably right.
I don’t envision my self ever wearing a gun again daily on my person. For a variety of reasons. Truthfully I care almost nothing about weapons at this point.
it’s just not that big a deal security wise.
Alertness, avoidance and de-escalated aggression is better than shooting.
This one of a long list of belief system challenges I set to disprove.
At one point I was the most fervent of believers - all the gear all the time. Never unarmed, weekly training. Several classes each year.
Then I found myself on a rushed family vacation to then ocean. No time to plan the extra baggage to fly with the gun etc.
So we went. Had fun and didn’t think about it again.
I didn’t die. No one needed to be shot etc. That’s been over a year ago.
What’s my point ? Well I’m not sure. This won’t be a popular life style adaption here. But if you’re in a place where you aren’t willing to risk the legal fall out of carrying in a no carry zone - I bet you’re still going to be safer than you’d be in the rest of the world.
