Decided not to get my CCW

[Hunh Bruh]

How many cardiac failures have you had?

Zero. The same number of times I've needed a gun

 

[Hunh Bruh]

I've never wrecked my car, I guess that means I don't need auto insurance?

You have flood insurance? I dont

 

[Hitman]

Zero. The same number of times I've needed a gun

Would you be able to use the defibrillator on yourself during cardiac arrest?

 

[Hunh Bruh]

And I'm being honest. There are people who dont carry and I'm simply saying that is OK

No, Would you shoot yourself?

Me too.

No, Would you shoot yourself?

Why would I need to shoot myself?

 

[Hunh Bruh]

Why would I carry a defibrillator for me? It seems a lot of guys carry to save the world

 

[Hitman]

Well that's another root point altogether.

I'll refrain from going there.

I more interested in your defibrillator suggestion, as if you’d be able to use one for yourself during an emergency as opposed to being able to use a firearm for yourself during an emergency which is obviously plausible.

This topic is about a CHP and carrying for protection, not saving other people.

When the day comes that your wife starts to express an interest in teh gun - and it will likely come if you are gentle, as Hitman suggested - point your wife to http://www.corneredcat.com/ It's a website by a woman, about guns, but from a woman's perspective. It wouldn't hurt for you to go read some of it yourself at you leisure now.

Shame on me for forgetting such a worthy website. I too have read A LOT on that site myself.

Thanks

Fair enough, I'll start another thread. I won't muck this up

Roger.
No, Sid
I know, Roger.
Why don't we save Sid first and then we go back for Roger
Uh.. Never mind.

Great Part!

The main thing is that I didn't want to push it if it caused a constant battle with my wife. You are so right in that I need to work slow. Women are wired different. I realize it is going to take time to get my CHP. I am new to guns and need to be proficient shooting it before I start carrying. She said it is ultimately up to me and my own decision whether I spend the money on the permit and carry.

Just spend the money on it. Your wife can get over it.

Oh and Celtics suck.

I have read a ton of posts on that site. Don't think she is quite ready. She has shot with me a couple times though and can definitely handle a gun but just doesn't enjoy it.

Do I have something about the celtics in my profile??

Probably his signature?

Just messing with you. This is Tim from school.

Brother I hate to break her heart BUT if you divide $300 into 5 years its only about $0.16 cents a day that you are paying for YOUR SAFETY on the first 5 years, then once you re apply it goes down to $0.13 for the following 5 years .........

Im sure she spends WAY more than that in shoes, purses, clothes, make up, etc etc etc

I pay a minimum of $20 on shampoo/conditioner every two weeks. That's my Walmart I'm out and can't get to the mall emergency shampoo. Things you may not think is expensive..... They can be.

Get the CHP. Tell her it's for date nights. And Walmart tends to be the guess what I got in the mail today, evening cock walk.

Btw: great site, not the same "Cat" here.

I guess the pressure here is coming from my wife who says its just a big waste of money it has caused arguments between is. She can't see the benefits of a CCW

That's what my wife said until she started running at night with a group of friends and had an incident that made her rethink her position.

Get the permit!

 

[Cat]

I would STILL get one regardless, I am only on land about 5 month out the year and every single one of those days I conceal carry

And NO I am not trying to sell you on a service, I simply believe your reasoning behind not getting one is completely wrong.

IF I knew ahead of time I was going to need it I would probably either stay home, OR show up with my AR/AK and my bullet proof vest instead of a pocket pistol

You simply cannot control the world around you, and there is NO such thing as a safe neighborhood in my book. Do you actually believe bad guys only target the hood as an area of operation ???? I mean they already know people in that area are broke as a joke so the real targets are middle class people who like you believe that nothing will happen to them and will most likely comply and NOT put up a fight ........

Been thinking about this. Statistically, aren't you more likely to be assaulted by someone you know than not? Let's assume the individual makes "safe" choices, doesn't go out at night, doesn't drink in bars, stays to well lit areas, in short reduces his chances of interacting with thugs. As you said, he's still not safe.

In the whacky world of crazy people, his wife could end up with a workplace stalker. Or the neighbor might unhinge because his dog died. JDS, My experience took place over a hospital bed by someone I saw on a near daily basis while another family member was lying there ill.
