Re: To apply or not to apply...
Also, I have never had a problem with law enforcement. I know some have but they were professional with the one case when I was pulled over for an burned out light. Some cops don't like other people carrying guns even if it is legal. Thats fine, they can have thier opinion. As long as I follow the law they have nothing else to say. After all enforcing the law is thier job. As for your speeding. Just don't speed. When I was younger I got plenty of tickets for speeding and I had the car to do it in to but as you get older I guess you just calm down a little more. At least in my case I am not in such a rush. Nothing is that important unless I am going to the ER.

Re: To apply or not to apply...
To me it is a personal safety issue for my loved ones and myself. If the law allows me to carry I will. Of course I will still go to places that I am not legal to carry. I just won’t carry a handgun but I rather have that choice to protect myself and loved ones. As for the legal recourse, well if I feel the need to draw a handgun to save my life or someone under my protection then the last thing I am worried about is lawyers and law. I am worried about stopping a life threatening situation without hurting innocent bystanders. Law means nothing to me if I am dead.
Same reason I drive a truck and large sedan, personal safety. If you think about it the number 1 way to die between the ages of 25-50 is a car accident. That’s why I think it is kind of funny when people buy these little smart cars or any other little tiny car. My brother is an EMS and he always tells me the horror stories of a Honda civic or any other small car getting hit by a full size sedan or pickup truck. My point is if you can better protect yourself and loved ones why would you not do it?
