What chance would that be?

The category would be older, out of shape guy that couldn't defend himself well against a 20-something in a physical confrontation. The "chance" is the chance you always take introducing a weapon into any situation.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure you weren't referring to the 'chance' that a chl holder carrying a weapon on campus would end up with blood in the classroom & hallways. If you had been referring to that then I'd direct you to Charles Cotton's piece advocating expanded chl carry. But you weren't so we're good.

Glad you were able to diffuse your unpleasant encounter.

With over 30 years of experience, this may be the best analogy I've seen!

Chas.

As my name implies, I've spent more than my fair share of time in Louisiana. Over there politics has just as much of a following as LSU Football or the New Orleans Saints. But it's more like pro wrestling.... with much more interesting characters.

It seems to me that if this is the case, it might be the time for another call to action!

TSRA sent out a similar email call to action this morning.
