I will not be a prisoner to irrational fear.

How many times have I as a gun owner been told that I carry because I have an irrational fear?

I don't know. I don't tell anyone I carry a gun. Carrying a gun in case it is needed is easily rational. Considering pulling that gun on every human being that approaches me would be irrational.

Did I say I pulled it on every human being that approached me? No. I didnt pull it, but I was prepared to incase I NEEDED to (sounds like a Rational thing when you choose to carry a gun). It was an odd situation the nearest Morman church is 3 miles away and not even on that Road. Monday morning Quarter backs

Or you could just die with your weapon secured in your holster, then everyone would know you didn't overreact. You did alright Mark...other than being surprised that is.

I don't know what was edited or deleted that got Marksiwel banned, but he wasn't the one needing discipline in this thread.

I don't think Mark got banned for anything he said in this thread because his posts are still here. He had a few other threads of controversy going on too. Maybe he got cross with a mod. They typically don't ban you if you just say oops, sorry and move on. I can tell you that everything in this thread is still here that was here last night.

He has definitely stirred the pot here and has sometimes been a bit...antagonistic? In those threads I have said my piece then moved on, there's plenty more important issues to get my pressure up. In this case though, I thought his one BIG mistake was letting these guys get in close before he ascertained who they were. Two separate issues and my $.02.

You're trying to suck me in, aren't you? Not gonna work

And then there were three. - Or in this case 6,626 (members).

Dragonfighter - when you say "let these guys get to close...", were you refering to the "Mormans" or the posters? Wait, don't answer that - IMHO we should just let the tread die here.
RIP Marksewil!

A simple "no thanks" with confident body language works for me most of the time. When it doesn't, it's followed by an assertive "NO!" which works the rest of the time so far. The friendly strangers might think I'm rude but I don't need to make new friends in a dark street or parking lot.

[chabouk]

Yes, but in this thread it was his pot being stirred, by someone who does a lot of that and gets away with it.

His religion thread seems to be gone.

This horse has been beat to death.

Why don't we close this thread and start over tomorrow with something fresh, enlightening and realistically invigorating? How about it?

And not about what to do with your CCW while in a public restroom.
