Retraining my way of thought....

[Guest 808-South]

I may have offended some with my thread on "My opinion on where need not carry". I would like to offer my sincere apolagies. After conversing with fellow firearms owners & carriers. And read some suggested articles & books. Also some articles that was provided by my HCP instructor. I have learned alot and in the proccess of retraining my way of thought. I finished reading a exerpt from "Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs.. by Dave Grossman" I choose to be a sheepdog. And will prepare for when the wolves come. And know I understand more how many on this forum think & believe. Again my apolagies. And thank you to all who offered up some knowledge to help retrain my way of thought.

You guys are awesome!!!

It is very hard to offend these guys, believe me, I have tried. They are a forgiving bunch of fellows. I myself am a sheep but I have a Good Shepherd.

Good for you. Honestly, coming from where you did (Hawaii), a major anti-gun state, you have a pretty good attitude toward the issues; it takes a while for that sort of environment to wear off.

My gun is just part of my wardrobe, no matter where I am going, same as my pants. I don't get up each day, think about where I may or may not be going, then compute the odds of a terrorist or thug or whatever may be there shooting the place up, then decide if I need the gun or not. Its there, I dont think about it much, but I know its there if I need it. Are the odds in my favor that if I left it at home on days where I go to relatively safe places I would be ok? Yes, apparently so, as I havent had to shoot anyone yet and I don't go to rough areas. Do I like those odds well enough to not carry? Nope.
