Re: Reason you decided to get CHL ?
I spent most of my life in the Air Force. Moving around, going overseas, living safe on base. No need for a gun.
When I retired from the Air Force we moved to a very nice, safe community. I got a job where I traveled a lot.
Shortly after I retired, there were some home invasions in our area, so I bought a pistol, and later an AR-15 for home defense.
The Texas legislature extended Castle Laws to the car, so no need for CHL.
Last month while walking my little Yorkie, we were attacked by a Pit Bull.
I never worried about dogs around the neighborhood. Most were friendly, the others scattered if you yelled at them.
This one was different. He attacked silently from behind.
When I noticed him, I stepped in his path to prevent my Yorkie's being killed. Then he attacked me.
I managed to bluff him, and he backed off. But things were definitely tense.
I learned later that some people not far off were raising fighting Pit Bulls. That explained his behavior.
I decided that at 66 years of age, I didn't want to fight a Pit Bull bare handed.
Also, "random" attacks on people just out and about seem to be on the increase.
I may have slowed down a bit, but I haven't become a "victim" yet.
Someone might remind me the Yorkie is legally considered "property" and I can't use force to protect her.
The policeman I talked to about the report reminded me that if I shot the dog, he was attacking ME, not the Yorkie.
Our society's changing. Something tells me the anti gunners are going to find it pretty rough a few years down the road.
