An action oriented response to active shooters

[GGJohn]

8. My combat experience has nothing to do with my view on firearms,

I was raised around firearms, was hunting by the time I was 10 yo, my dad was a strong supporter of gun rights and a combat vet himself, that's where my view comes from.

The only firearm I regularly carried in the Army was my personal sidearm, which was part of my survival kit in case I was shot down.
I was a chopper pilot, flying attack birds.

The only time I regularly arm myself is usually out in the fields where we have a bobcat, coyote and the occasional cougar problem trying to take our livestock.
If I travel to another state, not too frequently, both myself and my wife will carry our firearms with us, even though we know the odds of ever needing to use them are small.
