So, carrying a firearm is going to prevent someone from shooting you while you are distracted doing something else?

Exactly. The other one that makes me cringe is the open carry justifiers. At least get a CCW permit and keep that thing hidden. If I was a bad guy with a gun I’d case out a joint looking for potential threats first and neutralize them. If you”re packing visibly and sitting at a lunch counter, you’re not going to be able to defend against someone coming up behind you and getting the first shot. No matter what, the bad guy with a gun is always going to get a free first shot if they have the element of surprise on their side.

In fact, if you take a CCW training course (as I have) they tell you over and over again NOT to open carry. It’s stupid.
