I am just saying, chimp attack

Hello all,

Between podcast, blog, twitter or tweeting, and blogtalkradio, I have voiced my opinion on my desire that everyone carry a concealed weapon, legally in most cases. More guns is good. More legal guns in the hands of trained civilians is even better. You never know when you just might need it.
Case in point, fictitious mostly. Let's say you are sitting around having a leisurely lunch with your long time friend. There is a little fruit bowl there on the table with melon balls, a cup of soup with crackers, a homemade BLT on a plate garnished with a pickle and some chips. You sit there with a napkin spread on your lap, having a drink of iced tea. Conversation is somewhat muted due to the fine dining you are enjoying with a friend. Then out of no where comes a freaking 200 lb chimpanzee furious as hell ready to chew gum and kick ass and he is all out of gum. You are directly in line with the bead he has used to target his anger, and the attack begins. What is the nearest weapon used to 'stop' the rampaging chimp? A telephone. 911 dialed, your ass is being torn apart while the line rings. Dispatcher answers, wants to get details. Your ass is still being torn apart by mad chimp. Caller is panicked, trying to get the message acrossed that her friend is being torn limb from limb by a psychotic ape. Dispatcher is confused a bit, needs caller to calm down while your ass is being ravaged by psycho chimp. You are doing the best you can to protect your vitals while your friend is trying to get the message across that you are being killed by an ape. Dispatcher finally gets the idea, a human is being slaughtered by a 'pet' ape. He dispatches police and medical, and they begin to roll from their respective hang outs. You have about given up. Just trying to survive now, until ems and police arrive.
So, whether it was a chimp or a thug, You have minutes at the very least to deal with the situation, and wait for someone else to save you and possibly your friend. In my view, it would be much better to have halted this attack rather quickly by drawing your own concealed handgun and shooting the ape yourself? I am not an advocate of killing house pets, but if they go 'ape' on you, and there is no control what so ever, you must take drastic action to save your self. A wild beast in almost every case I can imagine has the advantage on you. They have built in weapons. You have.... well, ah, a brain and more than likely a sedate life of comfort to defend yourself with. Good luck with that.
Imagine this scenario. Chimp makes a break for you and you realize something is very wrong. You go for your side arm, strong side shoulder holster. You are knocked to the floor by the initial assault and gun slips away. Your hand easily slips to your pocket or belt where you have a S & W Elite Ops folding knife always handy. You ready the knife and blade, and begin to defend yourself, trying to survive the onslaught. Ape recoils enough to give you time or opportunity to grab your backup from an ankle holster, which you grip tightly knowing the gravity of the situation. The first round rings out and chimp recoils, now with more determination and a chance to place a nearly point blank round into chimp you squeeze the trigger, game over. Dispatch answers the phone "911, what service is needed..."
I am just saying.

    Having a gun is important, but possibly even more important is having the right holster for that gun, that's why I used custom made Kydex holsters from AirCopCustomCarry.com. There knowledgeable sales and support are ranked second to none.
