Lesson learned

[JohnCCW]

The thinking at the Madera Co Sheriff's department used to be- in case of a deputy in trouble situation, the closest backup may be a citizen with a CCW.

I was told this years ago by a deputy Sheriff in my first CCW class. In Eastern Madera County, the LEO's are spread mighty thin. It was really bad in the old days.

New permit holders are understandably uneasy about carrying everywhere and all the time. Just carry everyday and you'll get used to it fast. People do not notice.

Sometimes I only carry two bullets in my CCW because I don't think I will need more than two bullets.

Sound kind of strange? Well so does "I wasn't carrying because I 'thought' I would not need it".

My Father was deathly allergic to bee stings. He had an epi-pen that he carried with him at all times, just in case he got stung by a bee. He died a few years back never having to use an epi-pen. Should he have left it at home? I don't think so. One random bee sting and he would be choking to death on his own tongue due to anaphylaxis.

I am not allergic to bees, but I am pretty sure I am allergic to muggings, beatings, stabbings, and all that sort of BS. I will carry my equivalent of an epi-pen with me everywhere I legally can.

I ran into this article today. I soon realize my mistake. I want to apologize to the CC community for my negligence of not carrying every day. I'm new to my CC, and I have a sig Sauer sp2022 as my CCW. I being carrying ever since I posted my interaction with LE, and I can say that nobody has noticed when I carry, not even my family members. That's a very good sign and a huge motivation.

I want to thank you all for your support, and the motivation to continue exercising my 2A.

Stay safe and keep training.

Here is the article.
