In Correia, however, I saw the perfect concealed-weapon carrier: someone who has trained to a high standard, who will avoid confrontation whenever possible, and who is much more eager to save lives with his first-aid training than to take lives with his VP9.
I'm not sure this is as much of a compliment for John as it is an indictment of other concealed carriers. While not all of us would be considered trained to a high level, every LTC that I've met seemed to meet the other criteria - being anxious to save lives rather than to use a firearm against another person. It seems that no opportunity to paint firearm owners as bloodthirsty is missed but perhaps I' m being too sensitive. A more balanced article might have included the concepts that not every defensive gun use, unlike John's videos, results in shots fired and many defensive shootings do not result in death. But those concepts don't fit the narrative.
