Hi Dale,

    Always great stories!  One problem "regular" people have with alternative devices is the need to be "up close & personal" with the person causing a problem.   Add that to the possibly ineffective results and a stun-gun/tazer/etc., becomes more dangerous to the user than the bad guy.

Larry,

You bring up an interesting question of mine...

When one has a CCW, doesn't it change your mindframe at all times? At first you think it gives a jolt of confidence that you will be alright in many scary situations, but the one thing that bothers me is that some people I know carry all the time. 

At some point, you are as used to carrying a gun as you are a cellphone. Now if something totally out of the random comes up, you have to react and be willing to use the weapon. If you point it you now mean business, and the "enemy" now means as much or more business than you did before you drew. 

If you're not 110% committed to following through or sure of yourself, this could be a problem for the CCW carrier, no?
