New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency public health order temporarily suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County.
So you understand the concept and need for self defense. Pepper spray and tasers don’t always work. If your assailant is on mind altering substances, pain compliance tools like PS will be inaffective. Tasers won’t work (or are less likely to work) on winter clothing.
If you’re cool with your odds that’s fine, but I’m not willing to risk my life (or more importantly my partner’s life) when conceal carry is just as physical easy as PS.
The problem is… you are assuming you are going to be attacked, and you assume you are going to be powerless unless you have a gun with you. Americans have been taught from infancy that the only true source of power and justice comes from the barrel of a gun. The lessons from the War of Independence and the Civil War have hammered home time and time again the belief that only naked, lethal force can guarantee safety and enact needed change.
Not governments, or agencies, or powers. Not religion, not dialogues, not negotiations. Only the ability and willingness to kill your fellow man can guarantee your safety and shape the world around you into what you want to see.
At times it has been your virtue, but it is also your curse.
