Man with concealed firearm spoils carjackers fun.

32. I'm not in the least bit offended. I have a very thick skin.

Now, to address your argument against my lottery analogy. I am fully aware of the odds of becoming a victim of violent crime. Unfortunately, the carrying of a weapon has a virtually zero effect on that likelihood. That's why I stand by my analogy.
The likelihood of a positive outcome is so remote for the majority of those who carry, in fact a negative outcome is more probable.
Now, I may be wrong, and if you can show me some credible statistics to the contrary, I'll be happy to reconsider my stance. How many rapes have been averted by women carrying concealed weapons? How many rapes have been averted by guys carrying concealed weapons?
I know lots of gun carriers have shot people or waved guns at people over stuff they were protecting, but I don't remember too many where lives were in danger until the "victim" decided their shit was worth more than a human life. Maybe you think your car, or what is in your purse is worth killing for, as many who carry do. I hope you never have to find out.
