Ive never seen a reason for a concealed carry permit

[rdking647]

a little background.
I own several guns including the "evil" ar-15
i dont own them because im worried about some numbnut breaking in. I own them because im jewish (at least by ethnicity),my stepdad fled the holocaust where he lost his whole family and there are a whole lot of racist nutjobs in this country.

I dont understand the concealed carry permit except in very limited circumstances. if your that scared that you feel you need a gun for protection in your day to day life you need a mental health checkup for paranoia and probably shouldnt own a gun anyway.

realistically whats the point of a cc permit.

1. Well, Dennis Kucinich had one because he was prosecuting mob bosses...

...and was legitimately afraid for his life.

The only person I know who has one has it because she has a violent ex-husband who has repeatedly beat the shit out of her and doesn't seem to care about restraining orders.

2. Hiking in the back country with a gun means having protection from a rabid animal

And yes, even on my own property I have to have a permit, although Kentucky recently changed that. I now no longer have to have it on my own property or place of business.

3. This has puzzled me too

Why concealed? If it is not concealed, isn't it more of a deterrent to anyone who is thinking of causing you trouble?

4. Owner of a store that makes night deposits...

My uncle has been robbed a few times leaving his store at night. Now he carries and hasn't been robbed in three years.

Also, I used to work in private investigations and personal protection. You've got to have a ccw license for that kind of work.

There's reasons to have a permit.
