Here's my single issue with carrying a firearm in public:
If things do go down, and you decide to use your firearm, you've become judge, jury, and executioner, perhaps without knowing the full extent of the situation.
you're really going to be thinking that when someone else is trying to kill you? It's either you or him, I don't think it should be that hard of a choice. I'm not saying that taking a life is a good thing let alone easy, but if your life is in danger you have to protect yourselfLet's set up a hypothetical situation:
You're walking down the street when you turn a corner. Around this corner, you see two men. One has a gun pointed at the other. Without context, you don't know what's going on, and should avoid this situation entirely. Some people might still pull their gun and point it at the armed man. Still others, albeit a small minority, might fire on the armed man. We do not know the full extent of the situation.
You realize that's an exact situation covered in concealed carry courses, right? You're not to draw a weapon unless you are directly threatened. You surrender your right to withdraw from the altercation if you are the aggressor and draw your firearm.That's exactly why I brought it up. Not everyone always follows their training to a T.
