Contributing Member JLSleather Posted September 18, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted September 18, 2019 Temp is okay, but we got no water! I could wade my favorite fishin' river clean across without gittin 'm belt wet I think - been WAY too dry around here. Had some storms to the north starting to bring it up a bit but more woudn't hurt. Supposed to rain next three days, that might get out out n about ... Bass will bite when it's warm, but when my grill is empty I want pike and walleye - definitely colder water fish. MN the lakes were deeper, guy could git down in there for cold water most of the year. 'Course, there was all them democrats to wade through ... "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

I also have carried many years but until recently I have had to realize I didn't really know how far was "to close" for me. I also have been in law enforcement for many years in corrections and trained to react to many unknown threats and it also allowed me to have actually talked to convicted felons, you're right they don't want to be shot so will make sure you don't have that advantage plain and simple. What most people don't want to realize is they still have a reaction time to overcome as well as mental issues with actually killing someone no matter how much they say they can it always affects reaction time, as you know also you could go to prison if you,re not correct in your split second decision. Your families life and happiness depends on much more than you just shooting some thug that wants your wallet you wont just go home afterwards and carry on, that small thought gives the thug the upper hand. My question to you then is how close is to close for you, DO you actually know, practicing speed loading a weapon is great but you have to get to that point first with a person trying to keep you from it. Anyway I'm way off topic so I'll leave you folks with your own opinions about personal safety. Concealed carry prevents them from seeing the handgun and therefore thy are not likely to try and take something they cant see. The statement about the wallet is almost absurd.. First if they are trying to steal your wallet then they are taking from you and your families wellbeing and survival. Second is there is all kinds of information typically in a wallet that can be used to financially and physically harm you and your family. And third how do you know they wont try to harm you or kill you once you hand over a wallet? How close is too close Depends on the situation In a crowded store where there is no aggressive behavior that I have observed people would be allowed to get closer to me than they would be allowed to get closer than if they were Brandishing a gun or a knife. If someone is threating me or my family with a knife At 50 yards obviously that is a different threat level than the same scenario at 10 to 15 yards. Personally ,If I could stop the threat at 15 yards or more I would because of reaction time. My secondary concerns to the a potential situation that I have to try and stop a thug from harming myself or family are just that,secondary. My FIRST responsibility is to protect myself and My Family from being Hurt,Maimed or Killed. The old cliché is"I would rather be Judged by 12 than carried by six" I have said there are too many variables and IFS to cover every scenario. Then you ask if I actually know practicing speed loading a weapon is great but you have to get to that point first with a person trying to keep you from it Do you actually know what the terminology New York Reload refers to ? For educational purpose https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/New_York_reload Do you actually know what a speed Rock is ,why it is used and how to do it?
