6. Always seems CCers have a "road rage DGU" story up their sleeves.

Meanwhile, those of us that don't CC manage to make it through our lives without pissing any other drivers off so much that they charge at us with a tire iron.

I can't help but thinking that the CCers tend to bring this stuff on themselves. That having a gun gives them the extra bravado to cut people off, give them the finger, or whatever else it takes to get them into one of those situations where they can later brag to their drinking buddies about the time they would have been in trouble if not for their trusty 9mm.

I'm sure your co-worker's story was legit. I'm just saying, more generally. Studies show that holding a gun changes your perceptions and your behavior. Studies also show that people who keep and/or carry guns are less safe than those who don't. Put two and two together...
