I had something happen recently that showed me that at any time anywhere you may need your gun. A parollee was on the run from the police, had been all afternoon showed up in my driveway at the end of a dead end road in the country. I think the fact that I was standing in the driveway with a friend and had a pistol in my hand (looking at a light for sale) spooked him and he asked to use the phone. We said no and he left. I told my friend, who was a police officer that I was nervous about this guy so we went to go check him out. That is when we discovered he had wrecked his car in a police chase earlier in the day and was running through the woods all day. My friend took him down at gun point after a short chase on foot and the guy went back to prison.

That could easily have turned out as a hostage situation or if I hadn't been home and it was just my wife there who knows what could have happened.

The moral of the story is...carry, your life can be endangered in the blink of an eye anywhere you are 24 hours a day. The more of us CHL holders there are who actively carry, the less criminals there will be on the streets.
