To those who CCW?

Question

I carry concealed because the high risk of being killed and/or robbed because of my job. Ive had my CCW permit now for 2 years and thankfully ive never had to use my firearm (glock model 31) I have had an instance were i had to draw my weapon because of someone who had a hammer and was threatening my wife but luckily ive never had to shoot anyone. My question is, to those who carry ,concealed have you ever had to use your weapon and why?

Answer 1

I took my Beretta in hand when an idiot burst into my hotel room. My son was in the other bed (baby). Weapon pointed at him, finger not in trigger guard because I wasn't yet sure he needed to die.

MAINTENANCE GUY with a master key! He had a big fluorescent bulb in his hand; he was supposed to be changing the bulb in the next door room.

Know your target. Someone else might have capped him.

I almost always carry my duty weapon or at least my backup with me any place I go. I've never had to draw on someone when not in uniform but it is always in the back of my mind.
