I sat through my CHL class this week with around 50 people. While talking to many of them during breaks, I was amazed and somewhat shocked that many seemed to be taking the class on a lark. I spent a long time thinking through my reasons for carrying, the logistics of carrying , and my philosophy regarding what would prompt my firing of my weapon. Some of my classmates have no plan in place or no thought about any of these things.

The most difficult scenarios, and those that will trip up those ill prepared seem to focus around third parties. It's one thing to have scenarios in place to protect you and yours, its quite another to have them to address things that happen. This incident is one of the many that illustrate that we should be extremely careful to choose our guns over our phones.
