Reply #82: Worn-out amateur mind-reading act is long on drama, short on facts

[slackmaster]

Why are a minority of people afraid to leave their homes without being armed?

Why are arguments against licensed concealed carry all based on unfounded assumptions that tend to demean those who choose to arm themselves for self-defense?

We have seen over and over baseless claims that they are fearful, or that they intend to use their weapons unlawfully. We see statistics and factoids about how bad the crime is in our country with no acknowledgment that actual crime rates are dropping, and the demonstrably false implication that people who carry weapons lawfully are somehow responsible for crime.

Get real, Bragi. You don't know what's going on in the minds of people who choose to exercise the privilege of acquiring a license to carry a concealed weapon. Your bogus "compassion" can't conceal the prejudice that underlies your bombastic anti self-defense screeds.

Do yourself a favor by taking a self-defense class some time. It doesn't have to involve firearms - Edged weapons or any empty-hand discipline would do fine. A good instructor will teach you what's really going on. Learn what real people are taught about the legal and moral aspects of the use of force.
