I am perplexed

[10mm-man]

Every person I know who carries including myself does everything possible to avoid trouble. The absolute last thing I want to do is address a human target with my firearm unless I have no other choice.

I'm with you on this one. I carry everywhere I'm allowed to & I do everything I can to avoid trouble when carrying. I will walk away from any situation that I feel could escalate. It's a responsibility I believe most on here take seriously. As for your neighbor, to each his own. It's a personal choice. Still don't get it.

Exactly- I avoid trouble like the plaque!! Shit, to tell the truth- Shit goes down, son and I are in defense mode running the hell away from trouble......... My 1st priority is his(my son) safety, so I avoid trouble as much as possible. I told him(my neighbors ex husband) it was "his choice", but law abiding CCW carriers are "not looking for trouble".
