Kirk,

I agree completely. I think everyone who thinks open carry or concealed 
carry is the greatest thing ever needs to take the concealed carry 
training. It will really open your eye to the reality of using a lethal 
weapon. Trust me, you don't want to do it.

I think it was David L who made the comment the other day about being 
situationally aware of your surroundings. I got a CCW permit a few years 
ago because I traveled a lot alone to remote places and strange towns 
and thought I would be better protected. Plus, it was cool.

I'm glad I took the course because it taught me that if you are aware of 
what is going on around you you can avoid trouble 99.9999 percent of the 
time and if you are tempted to use a weapon to think again. I am much 
more likely now to NOT use a gun than before. 'Righteous' shoot or not, 
you WILL be sued by the bad guys or his/her heirs and it will cost your 
thousands of dollars and a troubled conscious for years. Leave law 
enforcement to the professionals and stay out of those places your 
mother warned you about. Besides, it's more fun to punch holes in paper.
