re: #141 Daniel Ballard

No, you are forgetting people that have an actual threat they must be prepared for. People who carry valuables, women at risk, those who have violent enemies at large (think women who finally got away from abusive husbands).

Plus if the weapon is seen you have violated your permit condition, and that can be the end of your CCW.

Maybe. I just never hear of the stories where someone having a concealed weapon saved the day.

The closest I can remember is that one of the witness to the Gabby Gifford shooting was packing. IIRC, he sort of admitted he came close to shooting Gifford’s assistant.
