Bullshit. You carry it every day in hopes that you will find a chance to use it. A sneeze guard is actually used regularly.A side arm is like a sneeze guard at a salad bar. It can be an inconvenience and you REALLY hope it's never needed, but you're glad it's there if it is.
So are defensive firearms, over a million times every year. But, like firearms, most people will never see either one in use. How many sneeze guards have you seen with evidence of their use?
Sneeze guards are wiped regularly throughout the day. That still has nothing to do with a coward who wants to have a gun 24/7
They are insurance that you hope doesn't have to be used, like defensive firearms. And quite frankly, I find it amusing that you're so frightened of someone who protects himself and those around him.
I've seen a gun nut "accidentally" shoot a person who just happened to be in the way when the gun went off. I've never seen anyone saved from harm by a gun nut with a gun. How many times have you needed to shoot someone?
Never. I don't carry a firearm. I don't want a potential assailant to be sure of that, however, so keep it legal.
