If we could get guns away from all of the criminals I would not feel the need to carry my own. I would still own and practice with my rifles because that is a different topic all together (unless we are considering the politicians criminals... which isn't too far from the truth most of the time)

So basically you guys carry purely for protection? And then there’s hobby shooting/hunting. I reckon the issue comes in with Things getting heated and people just happen to have a gun. Like concealed carrying and getting pissed at the pub. I wonder what the statistics are on intoxication and shootings.... that would be interesting. |

have seen quite a few videos getting around of dudes carrying while playing drinking games and shit in their homes... just seems like a bad idea right from the get go.
the reply from the guy carrying is usually along the lines of "freedom / my right / fuck you commie..." which is pretty simplistic and retarded. Are there actual laws for carrying while under the influence anywhere in the US? or would it be more like... something goes bad, someone gets shot. shooter smells of booze. jail? |

Surely you've heard of the squeaky wheel gets the oil, right? We'll just like all the bad stuff in the world, these idiots are the only ones you hear about. You won't here me on video in a bar admitting that i'm carrying. You won't hear me or other people in videos, news clips, etc... stating how carrying a firearm is a huge responsibility and should trouble arise (bar fights, etc...) i'm the first headed towards the door, BECAUSE i'm carrying a firearm. I don't want any part of it. The MAJORITY of the concealed carriers in this county don't want any part of trouble when it breaks out. We carry for that .0001% chance we're confronted by someone intent on take our lives of the lives of our loved ones. Simple as that. None of us want to shoot someone. We all know our lives change forever the moment we shoot someone. A concealed firearm is for the very last resort. Only but a handful of situations would i ever draw it to avoid confrontation. There are few situations where it's lawful to draw a firearm and even fire a warning shot to deescalate a situation. They are few and while the chances of being in them might be greater than running into someone who wants to take our lives, it's still in the .001% chance range.

But that's just the thing, licensed concealed carriers are among the most law-abiding class of citizen we have. These are people who do take the laws into account and thus take steps to avoid the scenario you've envisioned entirely.
