I am sorry you are scared of weapons. Perhaps therapy could help.sounds creepy to me and uncomfortable, I get a woman having one in her purse all the time, but a guy????I do carry all the time. Same as I have a spare tire in my car all the time. I cannot predict when I will need either one. And if I do I will be cursing myself that I left it at home.Just two questions do you carry all the time? when you leave your house you get your keys, wallet, now cell phone and don't forget to bring the gun.Here's what happens when you let random people carry guns:
1. There were over 400 murders in Chicago in 2014 by people who conceal carried. https://portal.chicagopolice.org/portal/page/portal/ClearPath/News/Crime Statistics/Crime Statistics Year End
2. The results are even more pronounced in Washington DC. There are 44 murders by people with concealed handguns this year alone, and the year is not even halfway through. More importantly though, the passing of concealed carry caused a rise in crime, breaking a record of decreasing crime since 1995. http://mpdc.dc.gov/node/197622
3. Over 95 percent of the victims were racial minorities. That's bound to happen when you let a bunch of George Zimmerman's walk around packing heat. 2015 Stats Chicago Murder Crime Mayhem HeyJackass
4. Compare this to New York City, which bans concealed carry, and has far lower crime: NYPD - Office of the Chief of Department
As a law enforcement officer in a suburb of one of the aforementioned cities, I can reassure you that the police officers which guard these two fine cities are NOT pleased at all with being forced to let random lunatics and gangbangers carry guns everywhere.
Concealed carry has made two relatively unsafe cities into nothing short of a war zone.
Random people don't get issued concealed carry permits.
To get mine I had to take a class, pass a test at the gun range have a background check and have my fingerprints taken at a State Police barracks.
If you answered yes... My second question is why?
The reason why I ask you this is because if there comes a time when I feel the need to carry all the time, this is not the country I want to live in anymore. Its not freedom to me.
Don't get it.
