You stick to YOUR knitting as the saying goes, but on the other hand, you don't have to feel fully vulnerable, either. I imagine that a practiced swordsman from a bygone era might have felt the same way when he strapped on his steel before leaving his home, too. :thumbsup:
I'll take your agreement. :lol:

I remember something that my CHL instructor told us in class. He said that his CHL was a license for him to eat a lot of crow. :lol:

Welcome back. :patriot:

I am going to disagree on this point.
Attitude Definition:
1. Manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially of the mind: a negative attitude; group attitudes.

2. position or posture of the body appropriate to or expressive of an action, emotion, etc.: a threatening attitude; a relaxed attitude.
Physically, I am not different as a person, but my ability to defend myself is enhanced. When I carry, I feel that I am more confident and capable of defending myself against people who wish to do me harm. I feel it affects my attitude in a positive way.
