    Wearing a gun may give you some protection, but it also brings you a false sense of security and introduces countless new risks while negleting the source of the issue. If you’re actually living somewhere, where it’s “normal” to wear guns it’s a far better idea to just relocate. But then, many folks are just scared and don’t actually gain any increased safety from wearing a gun.

      It’s a very real problem. getting a ccw is easier than getting a drivers license. depending on the state, not every place is the same. Living in Rhode Island? yeah having a gun felt passe. Here in Florida. The place is a 39 ring circus with no one orchestrating the show and crime solve rates are laughable at best. additionally. some towns, like mine. our police go home at 6pm…like wtf…our 911 goes to the ‘central’ city after hours which means police arrival times range between 40mins-1:30mins…up north they were sub 10mins tops and 24/7 police shifts. so its not lost on me, i just cant afford to live in a place like that anymore, sadly.
