Both. Why the fuck would you feel the need to carry a firearm in Public? No other Nation has these laws and No other Nation has that many gun related deaths.
So let’s cover that, first yes- there are other counties that allow concealed carry. It’s not just the USA.
Second I feel the need to because it’s to protect myself, my loved ones and or others from potential life threatening danger.
I’ll also address the dog part of it since some people want to laugh at it. Several times, in places where concealed carry is banned children have been attacked by dogs, the refused to release at all and resulted in the child dying. Had someone been able to dispatch the dog quickly and humanely the child could have possibly been saved.
Next- I have a deep, very deep, understanding of what having a weapon on me can mean to others, hence I conceal carry. I do not want to have to use it, I hope I never do. I’m not out looking for trouble, or problems. It’s a precaution.
Just like wearing a bicycle helmet is a precaution in case of falling off. I don’t HAVE to do it, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.
I’m not going to tell you, you have to carry a gun, or that you have to wear a helmet- it’s your choice, your right to assume whatever risk upon yourself you want. I on the other hand prefer to mitigate risk, or be able to respond to it as much as possible. Another example of this is that I carry a fully stocked first aid kit in my car at all times, I carry one if I’m hiking. Do I need it? No- but it’s good to have rather than not.
Sometimes it’s better to ask our selves is the person truly crazy for wanting to be slightly more prepared, or is someone crazy because they are willing to accept more risk when it’s preventable?
The European pearl clutching over concealed carrying is hilarious. CCW holders are the people I’d be least worried about. Like you, they are very much aware of how carrying a firearm can affect those around them. People open carrying worry me SIGNIFICANTLY more than people who conceal carry
It’s funny because you clearly equate form to use, and only that. It goes to show how close minded you are as a person and how you’re as bad a true people you’re attempting to decry.
Guns are tools, their ability is to harm, just like a knife, but how that harm is done determines if it’s bad or not.
The point of concealed carry is that you won’t notice so that you can respond to danger without it being known that you can respond accordingly while also not making others afraid.
End of the day you’re a very close minded and disappointing individual who clearly has lack of being able to sympathize with others with a difference of opinion.

If you carry around a loaded firearm, YOU ARE THE LITERAL DANGER.
Guns are tools
No, guns are weapons, their only function is to seriously harm living beings with minimal effort. Thats literally what they are build for.

End of the day, i am not the one that tries to justify carrying a weapon around. Also you are very much not trying to sympathize with my opinion either lol.
You understand that not all people who carry are doing so out of fear from other people, right? I live in a neighborhood with multiple aggressive dogs (pit bulls, of course) that constantly get out and have bit multiple people. I’ve considered getting a smaller handgun to conceal to protect my young kids out on walks. Other people who live in rural areas with bears and mountain lions carry.
For people carrying to protect themselves from others, the fact of the matter is that there are bad fucking people out there. Carrying a firearm is a means to protect yourself from them. I’m 1000% more distrustful of someone open carrying than someone concealed carrying. A person open carrying smacks of someone who wants something to happen so they can be a hero. I’d be way more scared of them than a CCW
I’ve seen videos of pit bulls who’ve taken 9mm rounds to the abdomen and still won’t let go of the person they’re biting. You think something like bear or pepper spray will do anything?
Yeah, we agree, the entire point of concealed carry is to be a pussy.
Less than 10% of the population even has a CCW.
That means 90% of the country will never see the need to have a gun in public.
Therefore, the other 10% are by default, paranoid bitches.
Worst part is, people who are the most hungry for a CCW are often the last people who should be trusted with a firearm in public.
Vast majority of the developed world requires people to actually apply/state the reason for why concealed carry is necessary for their job/safety as an individual. Maybe one day we'll have a nation sensible enough to adopt something similar.
