[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 742313, member: 9"] First of all, because the 2nd Amendment of our USA Constitution says, "I Can". Second, the State of Texas says, "I Can" (with a CHL). Now... When carrying, I am on increased alert (making sure no one knows I'm carrying by "Printing"). Also, it is a constant reminder to have "Situational Awareness" of my surroundings, such as watching where I park my vehicle, keeping my distance from environmental things where a bad guy could hide and jump me, and giving me an extra ounce of security when I come back home and have no idea whether or not a bad guy is on our place, etc. True, if a bad guy already has the "drop on you", you don't stand a well-diggers chance of drawing, cycling, aiming, shooting before he gets a shot off. Best defense is to try to run away (but not in a straight line to cause him to re-establish his sight line), find cover, and take action if necessary. Then, while on our property, there is always the possibility of a varmit predator coming around and it needs to be taken out. Others have stories about being confronted by wild boars, etc., and the handgun is better than climing a tree...lol. JMHO... :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
