I'd have to say that my reason for getting my CHL is pretty simple. I served on the grand jury in my district about a year ago. The number and types of violent cases I heard each week were disturbing, and absolutely eye opening. I realized that the daily threat to me and my family isn't as much from terrorist as it is from a 2 bit BG in a store parking lot, getting gas at the corner station, eating at a diner at night, or just generally being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I realized just how fast things can and do happen, and in that moment you are truly on your own to protect yourself and yours. If that moment was ever to arise, I want to be prepared to at least have a chance.
