4. A very sensible and reasoned attitude.

I am 67, have walked on crutches for over 25 years, and have no intention of getting beat up, robbed, or bullied. If I think that there is a chance that I will have to use my CCW where I am going, I don't go. I do not want to cause another person pain, or take their life. But, even more, I do not want to suffer pain at some one else's hands, or die because they choose to take my life. I seldom carry, but when I do, I too am more careful to not provoke or antagonize others. Carrying a firearm is a responsibility that I take very serious. To date, I have not had to use my pistol for self defense. I thank the Lord that He has spared me that choice. If the situation would demand the use of force, I will do what is necessary to protect me and mine.
