This raises a concern for me.hangfour wrote:It is not my job to be police, or arbiter of arguments ... my job is to defend my life (and the lives of my loved ones) only. Anyway ... my 2 cents worth.
Yes, I know a CHL does not equal a batman license, but I would HOPE, & would hope OTHERS would hope, that if someone saw me in harms way that they'd react & try to help. It must be something about how I raised. Nothing specific in how I was raised, but my Dad was a medic in Vietnam for 5 years and my Mom was a paramedic for over 20. Some where it got instilled to me to walk towards the fire rather than away from it.
That same mentality is what tore me up emotionally about 9/11. If I was in NYC, I would be going up those stairs rather than down them.
I can't explain it, but some people have "it" & some people don't (in terms of wanting to help others).
