Crown = crowd. Sorry.
Silly point.
Are you trying to say that it is no use to CCW?
Are you saying just give in, its gonna happen anyway?
Mt point would be, Carry. Yeah, its not a magic wand. Yeah, some will still die, maybe even the carrier. But take as many bad guys down too as you can. Defend!!
Your post sounded defeatist.
Merely a recognition that CCW, while very useful in many circumstances, is not a magic wand that will prevent all bad things from happening.
Can CCW protect an individual and his family? Quite often.
Will CCW potentially prevent or shorten mass shootings by a lone nut? Certainly has that potential.
Will CCW prevent or do much of anything to stop an assault by a group of heavily armed terrorists? Nope.
To my mind that isn’t defeatist. Just a recognition that if we want to prevent such attacks other means of defense are required.
Military rifles are a fine piece of hardware.
Will they stop a tank? Nope. It is just common sense, IMO, to be aware of what various weapons and policies are capable of doing, and what they are not capable of.
More reliable than US Govt sources, sad to say. So are the Russians.
