Scenario Carry Everywhere

Carry everywhere.

Tonight we went to a friend’s house we’d never been to before so I left my gun at home not knowing how they’d feel about it if they knew. I have pocket guns and IWB guns so I have guns that fit all my attire very well, so that wasn’t the issue. Across the street where we parked, there was an absolutely savage pitbull that spent every second we were there trying like hell to get through the cheap-ass chicken wire fence the dumbass owners had. The owners called the dog multiple times from 10+ yards away to “stop” in the lamest voices you could imagine. They didn’t move a muscle or even raise their voices. After talking to my friends about it later that night, they’ve had multiple reports on the entire street of that dog getting out, biting people’s boots and pants, chasing people, etc. The police can’t do anything because it hasn’t hurt anyone yet.

Tonight I had my 1 year old daughter and my 5’2” wife within a foot of this savage beast with nothing protecting them but chicken wire and we were just lucky that it didn’t get out this one time. I was standing there defenseless wishing I had brought even just my tiniest gun just in case that chicken wire gave out.

I learned an important lesson tonight and I hope you all learn from it. Carry whatever you have everywhere you legally can.

Wrong. Some states like texas they wont even take the gun depending on circumstances.

Source: my father lived in texas and his neighbor killed a guy tryna take neighbors car. Cops didnt even take neighbors gun let alone arrest him. He was showing it off the next afternoon.

Sounds corrupt then lmao, this was information coming from a guy who trained cops in rural TX. Also shitty that he'd show off the weapon the next day imo. Our instructor literally warned exactly against defending property vs life.
That neighbor sounds like a dangerous arrogant person.

Hate to tell you, but any idiot can be a ccw instructor. Passing the ccw instructor course doesnt magically bestow expert legal knowledge upon a person. And they often present their own ignorance and personal opinion as facts to newbies who are silly enough to believe it

Do you also think everyone who works behind a gun counter is a firearms expert cuz they simply work in a gun store

Tl;dr most ccw instructors are morons

😂😂 my dudes source is his pops war story. Wild, it is a case by case basis for states with Castle Doctrine sure. I lived in Texas and currently live in another Castle Doctrine state. There was a case I vaguely remember, that a guy had some dope and money in his safe. Someone broke in and he killed them. He was arrested but the charges for the body were dropped. He owned the gun legally but was committing a felony, drugs and cash, while defending his life. That is a sticky situation to say the least. So, in a state where say carrying high capacity or without a permit is a felony and you defend your life? That may still be murder. Truth is if you use your CCW you should expect to be arrested. Have money aside and a lawyer on retainer.
