Getting Older Thinking Differently

Dec 31 Getting Older Thinking DifferentlyI'm almost 82 years old and have had threats against me for my constitutionally conservative radio spots and essays.  So when I, or a loved one with me is exposed to danger, I often pack.  I've owned a concealed carry permit nearly all my adult life, and long ago the NRA qualified me as expert.But I don't like to think about shooting anything for any reason. Then last week, I was attacked by a dog.  It came out of nowhere, the gun came out, but I saw some kids not too far away, and I didn't shoot.  The dog was subdued without shooting it, and I ended up with a couple of nasty bites. But that was the extent of the damage.Had I used deadly force on that dog, it wouldn't have ended for the kids.  I think they might have been traumatized, perhaps for years.(By the way, the dog was taken to a pound and we won't see it again.)  But I was thinking of when you get older, you consider your actions more carefully, and how they may affect others. At least, I do.Sponsored by the Caylor Group Wealth Management in Lynchburg, Virginia. Call 434-455-7197.Support the show#Political/Conservative/Judeo/Christian/Constitutional
