I see you are brand new to our forum. Welcome.

I would suggest that you tone it down a little bit. Some of the things you were saying could be mistaken for personal attacks. Personal attacks are not welcomed around here and will get you kicked off rather quickly. There are a lot of people on this forum and not all of them are going to have the same outlook on the situation as you do. If you want to say what it is that you would do and why, great. Then maybe you could have a healthy debate with others on the subject. But don't attack others for what they say they would do. You will not like everything everyone says on here. I know I have not liked a lot of things and I know people have not liked a lot of things I have said. Thats life.

A CHL is not a Certified Hero License its a Concealed Handgun License. A lot of folks got theirs to protect them and their family and when they are out their family's safety comes before a restaurant's money. There is nothing wrong with this. This is just how they feel. To bash somebody for wanting to protect his/her family is rude. They have the right to do what they see fit as do you. Both parties will have to live with the consequences of their actions after the fact.
Well said.

then why own a gun? why not tazers or pepper spay? they seem to suit you, better yet just softly spout "please don't" in their general direction.
You can't be serious; you believe wanting to avoid using deadly force means you should not carry a firearm for times when deadly force cannot be avoided? Oh, knock off the snide comments, they aren't appreciated nor will they be tolerated.

Chas.
Thank you, Charles. :tiphat:

Once the guy gets his change for the parking meter from the "old lady" running the front and goes out to pay the parking meter, can we put away our guns and use our napkins or must we wait unti he comes back in and is seated?

Just askin...
OOPS! I reckon he didn't need a gun to ask for parking meter change? :oops:

I'm sorry, from where I was sitting, his cell phone looked like a gun. Yes Officer, I'll come along with you. Can someone see that my family gets home? Woe is me.
