    Life has taught me that people that talk a lot are the last ones to stand up and fight. Its the ones that dont talk that are dangerous.

    Everyone I've ever known that has concealed carry has never used it. But people that I never realized carry have.

    I'm not talking. Im typing. I don't talk a lot. I do type a lot. Because we are on a discussion board. Where I am anonymous. I'm just saying how it is. I don't need to prove myself. Why would I lie? To impress a bunch of people I dont know nor ever will know? That's insanity. I sure hope I never have to use my weapon. But it's a handy tool to have in a society that has deteriorated beyond repair.

    Why do most people on the internet lie? Because people portray themselves as they want to be, not as they really are.

    The only thing I can add to this is you should still keep a phone within reach even if you don't use it.

    I call in accidents, disabled vehicles (possible medical emergencies), and suspicious driving (drunks) all the time.

    Only once did I ever call in a car fire. Just lucky I guess.

    One time I saw a group of people walking out of the woods on the highway. Called it in cause it was weird. 911 dispatch told me a tour bus had augered straight into the tree line. No skidmarks, no sign of the bus at all. What I saw were the first survivors of the crash making their way back to the road to flag down help.

    Another time I came around a bend to see a bunch of people running from the shoulder to the median. When I got closer I saw a tanker had just gone into the median and rolled. Commuting nurses from a local hospital were rushing from their personal vehicles to render aid. It must have happened not 80 seconds before I got there.
