Asocial violence

The presence of asocial violence in the world is a good reason to carry a concealed carry firearm.

When a criminal uses asocial violence his objective is to kill or maim the person being assaulted. The person using asocial violence has no moral restrictions and has no regard for the life of the person being assaulted. If asocial violence is being used against you all of your options are reduced to a simple equation. Kill or be killed.

Much of the violence in the world is of the anti-social type. This type of violence is meant to dominant a person but it generally is not intended to kill or maim the victim. It is usually not appropriate to use lethal force to respond to anti-social violence.

When I teach students to use a defensive handgun, the threat of asocial violence is what I train them to deal with. Their options other than resistance have been removed and they must be prepared to respond with lethal force to stop the assault.
