I am a concealed carry citizen for many years. I am also very adept with firearms, as are many many other Texans. I have absolutely no desire to be in a gunfight. You can get killed in a gunfight. I would never pull my weapon unless I or another innocent is in mortal danger.
However I assure you if I pull my weapon I will most certainly use it to try and kill. The second best weapon is the one you never have to use. The best weapon is the one that is used to stop bad people from killing you or other innocents. I hope I never need to use my weapons in mortal combat.
Amen...Very well said.
