How did this work out for Alex Pretti? He's the perfect example of how this shit will/would play out. Stop telling people to commit suicide ffs.
Alex was a kind and caring individual, and if he thought he was going to die I bet he still wouldn't have used his sidearm.
I, on the other hand, am not a kind and caring individual. If someone rolls up on me aggressively, my instinct is to pull out and let god sort them out.
that said, I have hyper situational awareness. I don't put myself in compromising situations. I get myself out of them.
I'm not a badass. I'm not a hero. I'm just a guy trying to come home to his family.
I have no clue of what you're trying to say.
what I'm trying to say is just because one person doesn't show the initiative to protect themselves shouldn't make it acceptable to deny others the ability to protect themselves.
I've been in situations that would have not happened had I shown my resolve to protect myself.
having a firearm is more than just a form of protection, it's also a form of deterrent, and a form of rebellion. it's a symbol showing others your resolve.
"I am very bad ass."
Make sure someone takes video of when you "fight back." I'd love to see how it all plays out.
