She has a strong “why,” and this “why” has pushed her to train and develop her skills. She has decided to never become a victim again.
Weak ‘Why’
On the other hand, I meet people who have a very weak “why,” or none at all. These people say things like, “I want a carry permit in case I feel like carrying a gun that day” or, “I only want a firearm when I'm at home.” These people have a weak “why,” and these are the same people who email me a year after their course asking for directions on submitting their application. Unfortunately, these people are actually sheep, not sheepdogs, and when the wolves attack, they will be untrained and unprepared. This kind of person acts as if they will get a notification on their phone: “Warning! You will be attacked today!” If you’ve ever been the victim of violence or witnessed a violent attack, you know these moments happen lightning fast. You are either going to be ready or you’re going to be a victim.
In April of 2018, I was walking with my two boys, Lincoln, 6, and Jaxx, 4, when a man attempted to stab me with a piece of metal. It was 7:30 in the morning, and we were walking into our church. Most people wouldn’t expect this to happen at a church. However, evil and mentally ill people are everywhere. When I saw the weapon, I knew what I had to do. I drew my gun and said, “Drop it or you’re going to die!” There was an expletive in there too, but this is a church story. The man immediately dropped the weapon and ran. What would have happened if I didn’t have my firearm that day? I'll let your imagination figure that one out, but I believe it would not have been a good ending for my boys and I. This story is a great example of why you must carry your firearm 100% of the time you're legally allowed to. If you choose to carry your firearm only when it's convenient, your wasting your time. When the wolf attacks, you will instantly know that you messed up.
What Is Your ‘Why?’
It could be to make sure some bad guy doesn’t take your family away from you, or you away from your family. Maybe like me, you want to prevent those at your church or workplace from being the next victims, or maybe it is because you have already been the victim of a violent attack. Whatever your “why” is, make sure it means something to you. Make sure it's strong enough to get you out of bed early to train if you need to. It must be strong enough that you're willing to spend money at the range or on additional courses. You must be willing to read books and change the way you think. If you don’t, you will not be ready for the moment the wolf attacks.
