[QUOTE="vooduchikn, post: 1694404, member: 24535"] Michael, A very interesting post. Coming from a CCW/OC family (men and women). I was force to really think about your questions for a moment. I would have to say that I am not as aware at times as I should be of my surroundings, We cannot currently carry outside of the property line in the state (Hawaii) that I currently live in. My wife and daughter carry pepper spray, I carry my EDC knife and a firearm when I am at home. Having been brought up proper, and by proper, I mean around firearms, I trained often. My brothers did the same. Regiments at the gun range, dry fire draws, etc. One of my brothers was involved in a self defense shooting several years back and the only thing that save his life and left the two carjackers dead right there was his CCW firearm, muscle memory, and his willingness not to be dead. He has never been the same after this incident, but he is alive and as well as he can be. After numerous years of litigation, lawsuits for this and that outside of the "criminal" aspect of which he was found free and clear (yes, you can be sued in civil court in Texas). There is another question that one must be ready to answer: Are you ready for what comes after you have to shoot? There is plenty out there on this topic, but having watched someone live it, the books and articles make it seem way more simple than it really can become. [/QUOTE]
