Very correct DragonFighter. I teach in class that a gun on you hip will not change your character. Adversities do not build character, they reveal it.Dragonfighter wrote:I was who I am and do what I do long before CHL's.

I do think many take the position that possessing a CHL obligates them beyond the boundaries of what they're about, if that makes any sense...?

The young man from AutoZone revealed his character.
So have several through this thread.
Several yrs ago, Clinton era, I was standing in a group of men just listening to the discussion. It was about what folks would do to defend the Nation after the ban & then confiscation. An older Veteran finally interrupted them & said something like, you will find out who the real men are because they will come out of the woods w/ ax handles if that is all they have to fight with.
I did not say anything then & never have to him. I have made a point to visit him pretty regular though.
