This will be centric to those that carry a weapon as part of their EDC. Violence is part of human nature, as it has been happening since our existence. This does not make us immune to it because we do not see it everyday. The media portrays violence as being a huge problem with our country, however it happens a a fairly normal amount. Their philosophy is “if it bleeds, it leads.” This is good for ratings because people like seeing crime for some weird reason. Our mind will react differently if it is personal. Whether that be knowing somebody on television who was a victim, or were a victim themselves. There will be an emotional attachment to those cases, but not to ones where we just see it on television, then forget about it ten minutes later.

Carrying a firearm, although we never want to use it, if we must, be violent. The most violent person in the fight will win the fight. In order to be violent, take a class to learn how the body works, and specifics around gun fights. I do not want to talk about it now. The only point I am trying to make is be prepared to take another life in an ugly way, and if you don’t think you can, nobody will judge you, you may simply need to choose a different lifestyle.
