Not necessarily in any order:
1)Because this country still respects some individual liberties, including the right (responsibility) to/of self protection and protection of one's loved ones -- and Texas offers CHL to allow its law-abiding citizens to carry proper defensive tools should the need arise.
2)Because I live/work/am almost always found in "nice or "safe" places, but evil travels where and when it will.
3)Because it was an excellent chance to start the dialog to get my lovely bride back into shooting, more situationally aware, armed and better prepared to defend herself (and have my back if need be).
4)Because MPA just isn't sufficient -- I can conceive of a time when I am not in a vehicle and need a sidearm (see item 2 above).
