You’re going to be sick one of these days, so do you still carry?<\/p>\n

Being sick sucks, especially when its the flu season.\u00a0 I can’t tell you how many times that almost every year that sickness goes around and comes back again in our family.\u00a0 Especially when you have children.\u00a0 It’s are real pain in the ass.\u00a0 This past season has been the flu, high fevers, vomiting and some getting pneumonia.\u00a0 This can really debilitate you and if you carry outside your home, you may be entering down the wrong path if something happens where you have to use deadly force.\u00a0 But if you’re under the weather, you may not want to carry.\u00a0 Especially if you are taking medication.<\/p>\n

If you end up unholstering your firearm while you are under the weather, especially on medication, the police will be involved.\u00a0 If they see that there is something wrong with you, they may check to see if you are sober or ask if you are taking any medication.\u00a0 From there on, who knows where this scenario will take you.\u00a0 What happens if an innocent bystander is shot and you were not 100% up to par because you were sick?\u00a0 It may go downhill from here on out.\u00a0 You will need an attorney.<\/p>\n

So what are your options?\u00a0 If you need to go out of the house, you can have a family member with a concealed carry permit (if constitutional carry is not an option) tag along with you.\u00a0 If you have those of age and a clean background (no felonies, etc.) in your family, consider having them get their permit and the proper training.\u00a0 Prepare them for the day that if any family member is sick, the other can take the responsibility.\u00a0 This would be a great to have a family member that can protect the group while someone else is not at their best due to their sickness.\u00a0 If you’re alone without anyone to help you, you will have to make a hard decision to carry or not, depending on your circumstances.<\/p>\n

Your best option if you are sick is to stay home, unless you have to go to the doctors.\u00a0 Not being at your very best can cripple you in making logical decisions, especially in a gunfight.\u00a0 Have someone run errands for you or delay it for another day.\u00a0 Reschedule things since your health is very important and you need time to heal.\u00a0 Get plenty of rest to recoup your strength so can recover quickly.\u00a0 This is nothing to play around with.\u00a0 If you can’t focus, you have a fever, or very lethargic, don’t carry outside the house.<\/p>\n

If you’re very sick, seek medical attention.<\/p>\n

Be safe out there, be the responsible firearm owner and always follow the \u201cConcealed Carry Creed<\/span>\u201d!!!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
