I was the SEAD.....and I would just avoid it in a flying bus like an EP-3 or RJ......
I know you're SEAD, that's why I put the reference in there. I would NEVER go anywhere near most things being HVAA, I get intercepted enough when I'm just doing SRO.
I was speaking from my experience as senior offensive duty officer (SODO) on the AOC Ops floor having worked myself up from DT Chief and ad hoc'ing DT/TST packages...
NO ONE is going to convince you to change your viewpoint on this, just as NO ONE is going to get me change mine.
You have many valid points and concerns about the CCW public. But your soap box attitude and short-sighted-antagonistic posts prevent civil discussion and serve to only trigger A4s' and the likes rebuttals. I too am concerned about those Rambo-idiot-glory-seeking types as well. You just assumed that I was one of those. Most of us with CCW aren't "seeking a fire fight", it's the last thing I want.
I can't think of a spot on analogy, but the closest thing is that we should take all the ejection seats out of our aircraft because it's just encouraging x-sport thrill seeker types to pull the handle and going for a ride or encouraging us to throw jets away because the pilot's can simply give up and punch.
My gun is the very last resort. I will walk away, let myself get punched (if I believe that that's all that going to happen), get verbally abused, trash thrown on, etc. Rather live with all that than having to shot someone. But I only got one me, and one family. I'll do what I need to.
