He's not a gun owner, and I was telling him that I thought he should be. His response was "I know myself - I've got a temper - I tend to overreact to things - so I decided years ago that having guns would not be a good idea for me..." Watching this video gives me a whole new respect for that relative...

Its funny but Carrying actually calmed me down. In my early and mid 20's I was a gym rat and very strong. Strong enough to enter a few powerlifting competitions. There may have been a steroid or two that passed my way as well.

I was a terrible road rager. I would leap out of the car for seemingly anything. I figured I was powerful enough that I had a better than 50/50 shot of coming out on top. The roids might have lent something to the rage as well.

Then came a gun. Suddenly it wasnt about a fist fight or throwing someone over the hood of a car .. it was life and death. Fist fights you get over. Shooting someone you may not. Calmed me right the hell down. once a gun entered the equation I spent a second more thinking about confrontation.

But your right .. its better that someone self evaluate and make a decision from there.

No chance you used to go by the name "Vinny" and work out / do martial arts around 32nd and T-bird? Like 30+ years ago? If so - and you don't want to be outed - please shoot me a PM...
