Which is my whole thought process on this question. I don't want to be paranoid and feel like I NEED a gun on me at all times, but I also don't want to be caught without it in the event I MIGHT need it someday. Frankly, I hope I go my entire life and never need the gun, but there is no way to be certain.

Growing up, there was a movie theater that had the occasional shooting.
Never made national news because at the time black people were allowed to shoot each other up in privacy without "news cameras" showing up.
Well...that and Sharpton didn't like the long drive out to the Island with all the traffic on the expressway.

As a cop friend once told me "Most of the time having a gun on you just means we have an extra thing to bag at the crime scene"

Fortunately, being part black means that at birth I am issued handgun and a gang affiliation at birth. CCL is something "white people" do, kinda like voting and leaving the OEM rims on a car. Only issue is that being a mullato has rendered my shooting hand kinda of useless with the constant masturbating.

You got me, I do roll on boring OEM rims. But at least I don't shoot sideways

What are the odds of any of that happenning to you? Extremely unlikely. And if it does happen what are the chances that you are close enough to stop the attacker but not so close that you get shot before you can react? I dont see any reason to carry at all times unless you feel like you will be needing it sooner or later and for most people thats nothing but fear and paranoia. A guy got struck by lightning at a NASCAR race this weekend, should he have been carrying a Faraday cage just in case?

I dont own a gun and I have never felt like I needed one so maybe I dont understand.

EDIT: KSGregman bear me to it.

I don't carry around the house but I have one or two out of the safe. I carry anytime I leave the house, whether in the truck or on my person. I don't want to shoot anyone or ever feel the need to draw it but I want that option if threatened. I like to think of it as being prepared instead of paranoid.

I find that I am carrying more these days. Nearly everywhere that I am legally allowed to. It is rare to find me in VT or NH without a revolver in my pocket. Around the house it is a bit different there are within easy reach in most place in my home a side arm or long gun in "GO" mode
