“Maybe I need to consider actually becoming a “pistol-packin’ mama” one of these days.”
See that is one thing nice about being in a Constitutional Carry state like Az. Just because everyone can and do if they like legally, the predators work on the assumption that everyone is packing. That makes those who choose not to carry just as safe as those who do. It is a huge positive deterrent. There is also a psychological difference in how officers approach the citizens. To them everyone is or could be carrying LEGALLY, so they less apt to automatically shoot you because you happened to move your arm too fast getting your ID. It is a world of difference and every state should have Constitutional carry just for the deterrent factor alone. :)
True. I think TN is cc also.
