Why would I be nervous?
I though your question about conceale carry in Croatia might be an insinuation that it's unsafe, my mistake.
Friend, I can't speak for Yukon, but let me give you my thoughts.
Where I am from, our founding document says "The right of the citizens to bear arms, in defense of themselves and the State, shall not be questioned." Now what is the State? The state is the government, yes. But the government is, in theory, for the People, of the People, and by the People. The State is all of us. We don't just have a right to protect each other - it's a duty.
Now I acknowledge reality, and the jewed system we live in. I'm not going to intervene to defend some random person I don't know, especially if it's a "minority" criminal. We all saw what happened to George Zimmerman even though he was 100% in the right. But I, my family, a friend, or God forbid I go by a school, and they're victimized, I will intervene. I'm not the fastest draw, but I'm faster than the average shitbird criminal. I'm not a high-speed low-drag Delta Force operator, but I can clear a building better than the average weak-willed school shooter.
Carrying a concealed weapon has nothing to do with fear, safety, or nervousness. It's an acknowledgement that I'm part of a society, and I have a role in maintaining it.
I agree 100% and well said. I was just wondering why he asked it on a post unrelated to it.
In Croatia there is a specific way we keep streets safe. 99% of the time things are peaceful, but if anyone acts up people will beat him up mercilessly. No one takes shit from anyone and slap or a fist is how and street arguments are sorted.
For example, a group of nepali visa workers was beaten up mercilessly and pistol whipped in the face over trying to act like they do in Western Europe.
You're fine. By the way, how is the crime there?
Nothing specieal. There is organized crime, but they keep it all well underground. Petty crime is very low compared to Western Europe and street are safe at night.
Honesty when I'm home I sometimes feel like carrying a pocket knife is too much, gun would just be an overkill.
