Porcupine

Porcupine
Great take from AmmoLand concerning another creature to use to represent self-defense. Instead of Sheep Dog, Wolf, or Sheep/Sheeple, the use of Porcupine. Many of Concealed Carriers are not there to protect the Sheep or to be a Sheep Dog against the Wolves, but are there to be a Porcupine, to protect one's self or family.

Not acting when the actor can, can result in said actor's death.

Re: Porcupine
I understand their comparison and agree to a point. Where they see a porcupine instead of a sheepdog, I see a sheepdog who is very choosy about who their flock is.

Honey badger knows a thing or two about self-defense as well, though.Pariah3j wrote:Was thinking this was the honey badger when I first saw it, until I quoted it.Beiruty wrote:This character is more fitting for an armed citizen:
