Hmm, I thought no ccw at Starbucks

Made the mistake of stopping to get a starbucks coffee once and it sucked, you'd have to pull a gun on me to make me drink another sip; after I analyze your caliber of choice.

I recently took the required CCW course down here in NC. They put very heavy emphasis on this same topic. Bottom line was unless you are absolutely 110% certain that you are stopping the bad actor, DO NOT get involved, as you WILL be going to prison. Their position: call the cops and stand back.

Alrighty then... that's how it will be for me if I ever encounter something similar down here. Then again, damn near everybody down here is armed, so I won't be alone in my decision.

I like guns. I like to talk about guns. I am a gun nerd in fact. I even am blessed enough to have some really neat guns. I remember that brief period when we mostly talked about guns here.

I also like guns, but if you keep or bear them for defensive purposes (as 2nd amendment “arms”) then understanding the rules of engagement is pretty damn fundamental. A hell of a lot more fundamental than dicking around about caliber and such.

So, I am not put off by these discussions. They are on topic and to the extent that people have heated (hopefully civil) disagreements it is important to have them.
