What Are The Chances Of Having To Use Your CHL

Post by **carlson1** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 5:13 pm

There are been some post lately on finding an Attorney to handle CHL shooting - just in case. I would like to know what you think your chances of being involved in a CHL shooting would be.

Very slim chance, but a chance nonetheless. I rarely go to questionable areas of any cities, but walking into some random act of robbery or a carjacking can happen anywhere.

Full concensus so far.

People here probably utilize good awareness skills and avoid potential trouble, further lowereing their chances.

Or a workplace shooting....been there, done that...got the t-shirt to prove it.

That was my motivation to finally get started on applying for my CHL.

Although I agree with all of the above posts, I probably am more likely than most as I am in some bad areas of town periodically as are most people in a service type of business.

Even with that, I think the chances are slim, but a chance none the less.

The key is being aware of your suroundings.

Very slim chance in my case since I don't have much of a social life

Actually, that's only half joking. I don't go to bars, we rarely get a chance to go out and eat, and when we do it's local places and the risk is low.

I think my area of risks are walking into a situation at a stop and rob, filling my gas tank early in the morning, and coming home to someone in the house. None of them that likely. Heck, if the odds were a lot higher, and I had to go, I would carry a rifle, the pistol would be relegated to backup!

Methinks as time rolls on, as society decays, as the terrorists and illegals become more brazen the chances increase.

As I have stated before, if anoter major storm heads this way, if you saw what I saw when we evacuated for Rita, you would agree.

Don,t become complacent.

Less than .001

Most likely never. However, when you need to be armed you REALLY need to be armed and I want to make sure that I'm ready should the situation ever arise.

The scale starts off too high. If I think there's a one in a thousand chance I'll need to draw a gun, I'm not going willingly.

I don't carry because I think I'll need it. I carry because I can never know when that one in a million incident will start to unfold in my immediate area.

Whats the old saying:

"Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."

Its such a cliche, I know...
