O/T Firearms 101: Have some questions on laws-

I Have A Ccw (as Its Called In Ca) For 6 Years Now I Carry Every Day.
One Reason A Concealed Wepon Is Not Comfortable To Where So Carrying Every Day Gets You Use To It. Second What If The Day You Dont Carry You Need It You Reach For It And Its Not There. Now Have Have Had To Pull My Weapon Once And It Was Actually In My Own Home Mid Day With My Kids Home (and I Live In A Small Town Where You Never Think It Would Happen) Someone Kicked In The Door To Rob The House And Was Met Promptly By My Pistol Which Was On My Side. When He Saw Me He Dropped To The Ground And Started Screaming Dont Shoot. I Did Not I Can Assure You I Was Ready To And A Split Second Away From Doing So. I Held Him There Till The Sheriff Showed Up. Now My Point Is This Had My Pistol Not Been On My Side And In The Gun Cabinet As It Would Normally Be I Do Not Know What Would Have Happened Would The Guy Have Pulled The Knifr On His Side And A Fight Occured Maybe Maybe Not. I Say If Your Going To Get It Carry Always. I Have Been Recertified A Few Times Now And Out Of The 250+ People I Have Met In Class I Am The Only One To Have A Story. The Best Advice We Got In Class Was The Only Sure Way To Survive A Gun Fight Is Dont Get In One. (i.e. Be Alert To Your Surroundings) Last Thing Is In The Class Here The Instructor Gave Us A List Of States That Reconize My Ccw (11 Total)
