more people die from alcohol related automobile accidents than by gunshot every year in america. therefore, your gun keeps you about as safe as my watch does me. the odds of your being in an alcohol related auto accident (not you drinking, someone else) far, far outweigh the odds you will ever need to use your concealed weapon to save your life or someone elses. but, do what you feel is right. i am pro gun and i would not try to tell anyone they can't carry any more than i would try to tell some Jersey douchebag with too much gell in his hair that he can't get a nice, orange, fake tan. This is america, after all.
but this is my equation:
stupid people get scared, being scared makes you feel powerless, guns make you feel powerful and therefore less scared. In conclusion: stupid, scared people carry guns.
