So I took a concealed weapon certification class today. Interesting mix of people..many spoke on their concerns of the president elect (and that spurred them to start carrying handguns). Of course? Anyway, after establishing that a person's life must be threatened to use deadly force to "stop" the attacker, it seemed that there wasn't much else to actually using a firearm on a person through their logic. The instructor and people attending were in the understanding that if they "stopped" an attacker and adequately articulated that their life or another person's life was in danger, they would be let off the hook pretty much immediately. It was scary and informative. I think that I'll try to participate in the IDPA activities when I get back.
So, concerning the title (after seeing Spamalot a month or so ago [see below]), I've decided to try to find a new passion abroad through trying new activities, or approaching them with a higher motivational goal than "people around you." I'd like it to be "be the best you can," so if that activity surfaces, I will pursue it. I'll try to find my grail.
A little inspiration for your asses:
The Lady of the Lake rules. (And for the nerds out there, her name is Merle Dandridge, the voice of Alex Vance in HL2)
