CPT, that was my thought too.
Wonder if there's a relationship between being rabidly pro-training (to the point where you start to pass judgment on those who don't train to your expectations) and being rabidly anti-OC.
Both seem to demand certain behaviors from others.
Seems to be. Pinkus? Yeager? mongoose1.1? They pass judgement on us, and deem us inferior. How can they pass such a blanket statement off as reality? They do not understand the mindset of an OCer, so they set out with false claims and bogus stats to prove a preconceived notion that OC is dangerous or foolish.
Again, I point out that CCers are statistically at a higher risk of being attacked, but all I hear is the, "If someone comes into the convenience store to rob it, you'll be the first one shot," joke.
I point out poll results from felons and other incarcerated persons where over 60% stated that knowing a victim has a firearm would keep them from targeting them.
Humans are programmed to value our own life. Why would anyone, criminals included, risk it over my wallet?
Human life is precious, but when a human targets other humans, he loses his humanity and becomes a wild animal that requires extermination. No hard feelings. It's our lives, or theirs. Their lives are of no value.
I can prove the validity of open carry with facts, statistics, data, and research. Can the same be said of concealed carry?
Criminals who carry guns, do so concealed. I prefer not to associate myself with criminal activity.
