I have lots of deadly animals that loves to roam my land. I’m also in a state that I can legally carry. All my neighbors also carry. It’s necessary to protect ourselves.
Both can be right. This article is not about that sort of carry or even about those locations though. Its about concealed carry in a city. Which I am also for... But damn That's a shitty article just for the sake of pro gun propaganda.
Lots of people conceal carry in my city, it’s such a normal thing here that no one really thinks about it.
I live on land with lots of deadly animals and I carry a gun when I'm in the woods. OP was commenting about CCW in public, that's a COMPLETLY different situation. Do you carry to do your groceries? To buy donuts. If so, what are you so afraid of? I've been all over the US and Canada, Europe, and Central and South America and NEVER felt the need to carry a gun. I guess I'm just braver than the assholes who need to carry an AR to buy donuts and coffee.
I believe that having a gun gives you bravado that can lead you in to unfortunate situations. If you pull a gun you are many times more likely to be shot than if you don't pull a gun. If you aren't carrying a gun there is zero chance that you will pull it. I'm 59 years old and worked in guns and badges for 25 years of my career. I have not once, in all of the places that I've gone and all of the things that I've done felt the need to have a gun while just going about my life. I see it as a sign of fear and weakness.
That's a good plan.
