Ok, here's an honest argument: why is a gun needed when mace will do?
It's not.
It's not needed if "running away" will do, either.
This argument is tiresome. Like I said.....I have no issues if you want to surrender your rights to protect you and yours. I have no idea why you have a problem if I refuse to surrender the right to protect me and mine.
Spin that any way you want.
Protect what? Your property? It's insured. Your ego? No one cares. And you MUST learn not to care either or it will undo you.
Life or safety? That's the only thing worth protecting. Why not run away or talk your way out of it? Or never get into it in the first place?
Using this logic, every victim of a crime should have never gotten into that situation in the first place? So it's their fault for "getting into" the situation???
I have a LTCF and I often do, not when riding or running, but sometimes I think about it, like the other night when some asshole tried to run me off the road twice cause he had a nice shiny BMW 7 series and didn't think I should be riding on the road, he got out and wanted to fight, I laughed at him, gave him the bird and rode away. I prefer to never ever have to pull my weapon, but I won't hesitate to if need be. How did I know this asshat wasn't carrying?
