Reasons to Carry a Gun With You Besides Self-Defense

My wife was driving up state highway 55 the other evening, just at dusk, and she saw a deer at the side of the road, badly injured. There was another car already pulled over, and she stopped to see what assistance she could provide. The other driver had pulled over for the same reason.

Even if it had not been a wild animal, it was beyond hope. One leg was shattered, and she could the bones flopping about in the skin. The animal was obviously in great pain, and had lost bladder control.

So my wife starts to head to her car to get her pistol, to put it out of its misery--and (this being Idaho) then she noticed that the other driver had already gotten his gun and was about to take care of this poor creature.
