Plus, she claims she was horribly disappointed when she felt the barrel and then realized it wasn't me. Something about how the octagon shape gave it away. I think she said" shape". Or maybe it was "size" ;-)<br /><br />Women need to be "heeled" much more than men, but they need help with the mindset first, or it is of no avail. If they find it too inconvenient or too "macho" to carry, they won't have it when they need it. We men need to carry so that we are able to respond when it comes time to protect _any_ women and children when harm's way arrives in our presence. If he and she are both armed, and train together, so much the better.<br /><br />I got into trouble on a list I belonged to when one of the members wanted to start a discussion on whether or not a person should become involved when a shooting like the Tucson/Giffords shooting occurred. I asked him how he could even consider not becoming involved when women and children are being targeted by _anyone_. He and some of the others took offense because I stated that anyone who carries would have a responsibility in such a case to do their best to put the mad dog down, and that to think otherwise made you morally suspect. Guess I was hanging out in the wrong group. I suppose I should have told them how I _really_ felt ;-)RegTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-17599922700816105512012-01-08T19:59:46.436-05:002012-01-08T19:59:46.436-05:00Well Done Sir!Well Done Sir!Keadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.com
