I'll probably get flamed for this, but the fact is, people that "need protection" need it for a reason. And that reason usually isn't because they are law abiding citizens.

Just my .02...
You're an idiot. I also have a concealed weapons permit and carry everywhere except for places that it is illegal to carry, such as courthouses, secure areas of the airport and when I cross the bridge to go to the Republic of New Jermany. I also carry when I am at work since I am on the road all the time with expensive cargo. I am not allowed to carry per company rules but my safety and life is more important than my job.

So you think that those people in that mall in Utah were doing something bad when they were killed by that crazy gunman? Or those students at Virginia Tech should have moved, then they wouldn't have been shot?

The police are great but they can't be everywhere at all times and it is our right to protect ourselves. I hope you are never in a life or death situation, but if you are maybe then you will realize that a law abiding citizen carrying a gun is not as bad as you think.
