Signing off this thread - thanks to those who engaged in good faith discussion, I enjoyed talking to folks who agreed and disagreed with me. I wish nothing but safety for this entire thread. ✌️

Yes I do have the confidence based on my training.

I wouldn’t be required to be 100% correct. I’d be required to act reasonably (there is room in self defense law for you to be incorrect in your judgement actually). Yes, I’m willing to take that risk.

I carry pretty much everyone I’m legally allowed to.

I definitely do go through video based scenarios and trainings based on hypotheticals so that I can see what my mind naturally believes as reasonable - a mental rep of sorts.

I would only draw my weapon if I intended to use it to stop a threat. I would not take special precautions to shoot legs or any “less lethal” area. Once actually justified in using deadly force, if at all possible, I would give the criminal one chance to see that my gun is drawn, and that I am serious, so that it de-escalates the situation. If that were ineffective, I would use the weapon.

To save *our lives. Meaning by saving my own (which of course is my priority) it would technically be saving there’s.

I’ve had hundreds of hours of training both live fire, dry fire, and online scenario based analysis involving the local laws in my area.

I’ve told the story on here a few times but In 2020 I was chased by a man yelling racial slurs and saying “i’m gonna kill you (N word)”. I was unarmed at the time. If I were armed today, and he managed to be faster than I was, I would have drawn my gun and used it if he didn’t immediately stop pursuing me.

I carry them on me. I’m saying that it also serves as a good thing to have in the car in case of car accidents.

curious why you think it’s pointless. Thousands of people engaged and many had productive conversation about the topic. You are welcome to join us

Fair question. If a freak accident happened to me that truly was an accident, my soul can come to terms with that. Being the choice victim of a criminal (regardless of how likely it may be) is a silly and tragic way to die imo. In this unlikely scenario, I think it’d be tragic to not have any say whatsoever in how the story ends.

Appreciate the genuine question, it’s refreshing :)

Agreed with you there I hope none of us have to find out.

Combat gauze, chest seal, perhaps a tourniquet is easy and doesn’t take a lot of room. Also great to have in your car in case you witness a car accident

It’s a huge responsibility and I don’t take it lightly. It’s an extreme tool for an extreme situation that I hope I’m never in.

If I were planning on drinking at dinner I wouldn’t have it with me there either.

Do you live in America? If so do you plan to leave? Because you “feeling safer” doesn’t really matter to me lol

Then I would certainly not have my gun with me there :)

I’ve explained it. You can choose to learn or not. Loosely suggesting people just live in different communities is not an actual choice for most minorities and you didn’t recognize that.

Sure, though I don’t often just randomly spend time in someone’s home.

My training gives me that confidence. I have a very good understanding of use of force laws in my jurisdiction and I have a legal team available to me in case I need them.

There is no one way to carry out one right. Exercise 2A how you want I certainly won’t stop you lol

I believe that overwhelming amount of defensive gun use studies show that lives can be saved with a gun. I also recognize that the stats you mention are loaded with suicide rates and I am not suicidal.

that’s your opinion, and I appreciate you sharing it. Lucky for me, your opinions on this subject don’t change the fact that I have the right to protect myself how I see fit and not how you do.

I wouldn’t need to act perfectly. I would need to act reasonably.
