I got mine because my profession (pawnbroker/coin dealer) is a "target" job.
An associate did not have or carry and he is now dead (while opening the store)
We "should" be able to carry as long as we use it responsibly. It would cut crime.
However, cutting crime is not on the political agenda as it is far more profitable to "deal with the issue" of crime. The profit in "crime trade" for equipment, more personnel, training, studies, prison construction, etc. etc. etc. is enormous and if it didn't exist, there would no longer be any incentive to spend $300-400K to get elected to some county office that pays $50,000 a year.
This whole country is hypocrisy. And we live in it and deal with it every day.
One thing to bear in mind is that if one does carry without CCW and has an accident or health emergency, he could wake up in a jail and get a "gun crime" against his record that could even prevent him from BUYING another gun to replace the one that they would take away.
