I carry sometimes, I wish I didn't have too, the chances of using a gun rise significantly higher for a situation that does not require it when you carry. I have been mugged before and I think if I had had my gun, by the time I came to draw I would have had two in my chest. When you carry you almost need to be on the offense all the time because the purp is willing and ready to use his gun so you have to have the same mindset...this creates a problem if you carry and its illegal to carry...then the cops show up and what do you do? you killed the guy but then your gonna get a felony for illegal weapon concealment.
