Re: Mandatory Training for CCW?
This is very true. I was trying to make it more personal, though. Many people will think that riots cannot happen in their town. Of course, they could argue that no one would ever want to kill them either. But most unarmed victims who have had an attempt made on their life have believed the same at one time.
Whether a group or an individual is the actor, an unarmed victim has no chance. Training requirements help ensure the actor is armed and the victim was not.
But the Rodney King case or the threatened rioting of the OJ trial were important real-life examples. What would have happened if OJ was not successful at the first criminal trial, I wonder?It is you. You have all the weapons that you need. Now fight. --Sucker Punch

Re: Mandatory Training for CCW?
Riot or personal threat, I think it is safe to say that most people, who have not experienced either, will tend to think it is unlikely. If only because the human brain assumes that, which is favorable, more likely. For some unknown, insane reason.
Fact is that there is a real probability that I become a victim of a home invasion right here, right now. The probability is small, compared to the PA average. But it isn't zero. So is it really paranoia to carry my gun, in my home, right now?
I don't think so.
JanSo long and thanks for all the fish.
