I am doing well! To be honest, I have not been on in quite a while! Quite the transition between my parent's going through a divorce, a move to Florida to attend school full time, and moving my horse down with me. I decided to log on tonight and see how everyone is doing and what I have been missing! How are you? Hope all is well.

Hey, Gabby, How u doin? Haven't heard from u for awhile...
-
Very true, I've considered :) Status? Not sure...you mean as far as getting a CCW out of state and if it recognizes other permits? I've been informed that if I apply for a permit in ND or ME(? I need to double check those..) that PA will recognize my permit because I am over the age of 18. Was that your question?
-
You can always still take training. Not a bad thing to have under your belt. What is the status of concealed carry in PA?
-
No and no, I'm 18, so I cannot apply to carry CCW in the state of PA, unless I apply for a permit out of state. So neither, that's actually included in some of my questions when I started the thread.

Say, GabbyDP
How long have you had your permit? Have you ever had any serious weapons training? Just curious; I've signed up for a 5-day defensive handgun course this spring. Although I've carried pretty much all my life (legal and otherwise), I figured that a) true hard-core, rigorous training is necessary if one is going to carry; b) it helps to establish your credibility with LE; and c) of course, helps to develop a shoot-no shoot mentality.

Mm hmm, I agree, it's important to develop boundaries and guidlines, particularly when it involves something serious, such as CCW.

I guess the question is when you are in fear for your life. I obviously don't advocate shooting anyone because I got punched, but my point was that I think a woman might be able to where a guy cannot. Recently, we had a guy beat to death outside a bar here in town; and of course that happens everywhere, all the time, it seems. So, I don't know...when you say "shoot if you get punched" it doesn't sound right, but it only takes one good punch or kick to the head and you're serously injured or dead. I have already stated my personal philosophy of self-defense (be aware, don't go where you shouldn't, leave), but I think it's encumbent upon all CCW holders to develop their own, within the confines of the law.

Yes, earlier you posted on an open forum, but so you know, this is still technically considered an open forum, it can be viewed by everyone. I can't say that I agree or disagree, a lot is dependent on the situation. The police officers will assess the situation and take into consideration evidence and their opinion regarding the situation. If you are physically able to fight back, then they will take that into account certainly, and may feel that it was unjustified for you to shoot someone because he punched you.

GabbyDP,
I'm screwing up my posting here as I am getting used to this site. I posted earlier on an open forum, I think, where I disseminated on the advantage that women might have when dealing with law enforcement. I KNOW it's sexist but I truly believe that if someone punches me, breaks my nose, and I shoot 'em, I'm gonna have a tougher time with LE than the "typical" woman who does the same thing. Do you agree?
