Vietnam vet. NRA Life member. Past NRA certified instructor in Home Defense; Gun safety and marksmanship in rifle, handgun and shotgun. Current owner of many long guns and handguns. Past CCW licensed.

As a senior I have witnessed many realities in this world. I have seen people's lives ruined after excersizing their "right" to self defense.

I believe everyone has this right. I also believe in the right to own a firearm. However, carring a concealed weapon gives a FALSE sense of security! The idea that you will get the drop on, or outdraw the bad guy, is not the reality of how these events come down.

When you kill someone, good or bad, not only is there a legal aspect to the case but a civil liability also exsits. You can be within the law and still lose your A.. in civil court! So, when you choose to carry a weapon, keep these things in mind!
