It is actually pretty easy to purchase a firearm and honestly they are fairly common place items in our society. I can understand the views of those that have never been in such a culture. But from my standpoint from living in this society I understand the need for using a firearm for protection. I want to give myself the best chance I can get. I don't carry out of fear, I carry because I know there is a good chance that my attacker may be carrying a firearm too. A gun levels the field. Plain and simple. As the saying goes. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight....As to would I use it? Yes. Without question. The only purpose of my CC firearm is to stop violence with a greater force of violence. If I draw and the person turns and flees....BY LAW....I can not fire. But if I can get sights on them and they are not running, then obviously they still wish to do me harm. Now that said. I pray I will never have to fire my gun at a human. And Phillydog is correct. Violence is violence. Used for good or bad. A chainsaw will easily cut down a tree...killing that tree. But even as the chainsaw is doing the violence to the tree so is that same act dulling the chainsaw. Each act of cutting harms the chainsaw too. It is the price we will pay for GOING HOME to our families. But the other price would be to far too great for OUR families. I would rather pay that price than my family.</blockquote>
