The first motivating incident that led me to seriously consider CHL was Hurricane Rita. During that time it was a total breakdown of the system. No communication, no law, no utilities, none of the basics that our modern world depends on. Tempers were short, people were fatigued, dirty and irritable. It became in some areas the law of the jungle. Sadly, I witnessed the bullying of older, weaker people at the gas pumps and saw the jackals stealing anything and everything. Money was worthless. I had hundreds of dollars and yet could only buy 10 gals of gas after a 2 hour wait.
Another reason I got my CHL was I travel & often have to stop on the side of the road and catch a 15 minute nap. I have not had too many bad experiences doing this but we all know that it is just a matter of time.
My honey and I both have CHLs & when I hug her I now pat her 5 clock.
