[QUOTE="Old rookie, post: 2895572, member: 40977"] My handle here says it all. I am, after all, just an "old-rookie" who only recently came to CCW under the SDA. As a military vet (many years ago) I understood adversarial combat, and for decades here at home, I didn't "feel" that adversarial environment. But I lived my entire adult life trying to practice "see and avoid situational awareness" until my retirement a few years ago. THEN I saw that awareness alone wouldn't protect myself, my family, or my property. NOW I feel quite differently, and our deteriorating social infrastructure reported daily convinces me that my decisions to arm both myself and my wife were correct, even though perhaps later in life than I should have made them. FWIW, I think the OP thread starter post here should be MANDATORY reading for anyone who is "on the fence" about CC. I very much appreciate his candor in the telling of his professional story. Thank you!!! [/QUOTE]
