I live in a very nice part of town and even carry to the Country Club when having dinner. I work in a nice business park. The daily grind is relatively clean.dfws4 wrote:I'm increasingly excited to take my class on Saturday - not so that I can find a bad guy to nail;

However, how often do you find yourself in "uncomfortable" parts of town or between towns? Ever been lost looking for a new restaurant or part for your car? Low on gas in an unfamiliar area? I'm not overly paranoid and have been able to handle myself well over the years without a weapon when the need has arose, but I've been fortunate. I've never been carjacked, burglarized, or experienced any other violent crime in my life and I've been in the worst places you can imagine including the heart of East LA gang territory.
I will defend my life, my loved ones and the innocent if the need ever arises. I can't rely on the State of Texas or City Law Enforcement to be there at the very moment I need self protection. That is the responsibility you will be empowered to possess; To defend when an obvious threat against a human life emerges.
I've never been a victim and intend to keep it that way.
