To wield or not to wield

So I carry, everyday of my life.. it’s a part of me, and it’s also the industry I work in, I’m around them all the time.. I’m trained and continue to train regularly to be proficient with them.. I don’t carry when I cycle, take the bike, I’ll get another one.. I don’t defend material possessions, it’s also in the FCA, you cannot use lethal force to protect property.. I’m not inherently a violent person, I barely ever even lose my temper. threaten my wife though and you’ll see a different side of me.. and she doesn’t cycle🤷🏼♂️🤣🤣
