[QUOTE="Steve B, post: 373274, member: 15754"] Law abiding citizens carrying weapons do not worry me as long as they have the proper training. By "proper training" I am not referring to just going to a gun range and learning how to use your weapon. I mean learning the laws that apply in your location, even when traveling to other states, and understanding the possible legal, financial, and emotional repercussions that may occur if you have to use your weapon in self defense. Guns should only be used as a last resort. If you shoot someone, even if you believe it was in self defense, you will probably end up in court as well in many states. If you don't have a good understanding of all of this you shouldn't be carrying in public. I filed the paper work for my permit to carry yesterday. In two weeks I am attending a two day class titled "Armed Citizens Rules of Engagement". If you are going to carry for personal protection get educated and stay educated. [/QUOTE]
