A permit is not a badge
A concealed carry permit is NOT a police badge – for example, you are not authorized to go clean up your neighborhood. The purpose of the concealed carry permit is for self-protection, and, if you choose, the protection of your loved ones, friends, or anyone else you believe to be in danger. But be careful when considering defending a total stranger. Often times, it is better to be a good witness for police than get involved in a situation where you have very limited knowledge. Remember you may choose to get involved in a shooting you may witness, and end up shooting and killing an undercover police officer.
Elements of a firearm accident
- A firearm
- Ammunition
- A careless or ignorant human being. An ignorant person can be educated in the rules of firearm safety and can be taught their practical application. Carelessness, however, is an attitude.
