Not long after getting my guns I became involved in a situation that did quite a bit of damage to my house and could have led to possible injury or the loss of life. The other person involved was clearly on drugs. In a split second my mind considered if I should arm myself, thankfully I chose no and de-escalated the situation until the police and fire department could arrive. It would be easy to fall into that hammer-nail situation and choose wrong, the human mind does not work well at all in fight or flight situations and can easily perceive that there is more danger than there really is. Thanks for piping in discntnt, appreciate the conversation.
Eko.
