I don't think I could deal with hate all the time, but a healthy dose of it
sure helps! I believe in Teddy Roosevelt's line: talk softly (or was it walk
softly?) and carry a big stick. I live in Florida, and got a license to carry
a concealed weapon almost as soon as FL made them available years ago, so my
"Big Stick" holds 11 rounds of 45ACP and fits in one of my pockets!
It's interesting, having a handgun in my pocket has changed how I handle
myself while out in public, but not in the way you might think. I find that
having deadly force available to me has made me much calmer, I tend to look
at situations where I might have been inclined to 'start something' in the
past, and now in those situations I think "is it really worth getting into it
over this?" and so far I've only had one situation where I felt threatened
enough to pull out my pistol, and the confrontation ended right then without
firing a single shot. I don't know if most CCW holders also feel this way or
if it's only me and a few others that I know, but if it is the majority then
the country has nothing to fear from legally licensed gun owners!
Now how did I get from old age & computers to guns? Sorry for the topic
drift!
