A little over a year ago i was packing up my last apartment.
I had just finished unloading the van and was getting ready to load up once again. When someone I know is a local gang member began approaching me with a knife while still approximately 17 feet away i reached into my van with him still approaching my 6, i then grabbed my pellet CO2 powered pistol (yes it is a pellet gun but intimidating none the less) and tucked it into the back of my pants, in a way that he could still see it. Once he say the pistol he stopped dead in his tracks and walked away. There had been many instances other than this one where in that apartment complex just the image of a gun has stopped a suspected robber from taking my money and or my life.
If the would be robber, would have continued my pellet gun would have only stunned him his knife could have killed me, and after all I only had my Co2 pistol because my friends and i were shooting a old cell phone earlier that day.
It is because of this close call that i want to CCW!
This is my reason for getting a CCW permit, SELF DEFENSE can save your life, you can be attacked at any given time, at any given place. I was lucky that time but who knows how fortunate I will be if it happens again.
WHAT IS YOUR reason for getting a CCW permit? I am very interested in finding out.
