I drive through that intersection every morning.sbb wrote:cpix,
I firmly believe that the responsibility to defend my family and myself far outweigh the perceived fear of retribution. The main reason that I applied for my CHL was for our protection. I, too, live in the southwest part of town. On any Friday or Saturday night you can hear pistol fire in the 59/Bissonett/Braeswookd area. This area is over 2 miles from my residence. I am in no fear of imminent attack but I will be always on alert. My neighborhood is beautiful, the neighbors are friendly and helpful, and I will not let any gang or their members take by force or fear what I have worked for. Just my $.02
And yes I do think about these issues.
