It is NOT a license to be a policeman, a "defender of the people", a hero, or a martyr.
I think, unless the gunman was pointing at me or directly threatening me, my duty would be to get my loved ones and myself out of the KZ ASAP, and then contact the authorities. I am not trained nor want to be trained for those other duties.
My reason for the CCW would be for my protection and my loved ones; it would not be for any of the other reasons named above.
Agreed.
>>a CC permit and a reason for the CCW is to protect yourself and the lives of your loved ones.<<
Arizona is Constitution Carry state. No permission permit required. No groveling on your knees for your rights.

I am an old man now and don't run well. I can't man handle people like I used to even though I'm still 6’ 4”.
I don't look to protect anybody but me and those with me. If someone starts shooting I will not try to run away, I will shoot as quickly as possible. I practice every other weekend. I will not likely miss.
I do not look forward to killing or even wounding anybody but if someone starts shooting while my wife is near they must have a death wish.
I don't always carry, if I think there is any possibility that I will need it I carry. I live in a very small town and going to McDonald's is not likely to be a problem but when I travel in the car I have a gun. If I go into the city (Louisville, KY) I strap it on.
I will do my best to not end up like that poor 9 year old girl or the honest but dead judge. The shooter may get me but likely he won't get anybody after me, with my last breath if I have to I will take him out.
I know that is strong talk, perhaps humorous to some but I do mean it.
Personally...I’m not going to sit there watching some nutjob shoot innocent people. I’m not a policeman, a hero..or a martyr. But I am an American...and I’m not going to watch fellow American’s being slaughtered.
