I've hesistated bringing this up but thought I would add a thought from my real life experience of a random act of violence.

I've often wondered many times whether me carrying a concealed weapon the night I was jumped by 2 thugs would've helped or hindered me.

Honestly, I just don't know. It un-nerves me to recall that day and think about what would've happened if the violence had escalated to the level of gunfire. I just don't know how different the situation would've been or how I would've reacted. Were it to happen again I still don't know how I'd realy react. The incident bothered me for quite awhile.

I have never owned a gun in my life, and not sure if I will. The thought of going through the education and process of getting a concealed weapons permit has crossed my mind many times since then and I've yet to act on that. Someday I might.

At the same time I'm all for the rights of the 2nd Ammendment.
