[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2895704, member: 10465"] Good post. Why wear a seat belt? Why have a access to a fire extinguisher? Why take about any precautions in life whatsoever? We do these things; we have these things; just in case we need them. No reasonable person wants to have an auto accident, a fire in their kitchen, or be involved in a situation that may require them to fire shots in self defense. But in my mind, the prudent person is ready just in case. My wife and I are both senior citizens, we (she) drive a new car, and we have a handicapped parking tag. I imagine we look like a soft target to some predatory thug or thugs who may be looking for an easy mark. ("Hey, check these two out, all we gotta do is hit that gray haired old lady over the head with this crowbar, and then we'll (stab) (shoot) (beat to death) the old geezer, and then we can steal their car and rob them blind"). I may look like an easy to take down old guy with a limp, but I'm about as soft as a two-dollar steak. I pity the fool...Be prepared. Be aware. Be careful and be ready. [/QUOTE]
