So: I don’t really see a great advantage in widespread carrying of guns, because many people can go off the deep end by one of life’s many possible tragedies, and then go on a killing spree.

The vast majority of those who carry a concealed weapon are law abiding citizens who are not going to go on a rampage just because they are armed. Does the widespread driving of cars make people go on killing sprees with their cars? I carry concealed to protect myself and my loved ones.

I stand corrected. Your reasoning makes sense, and I was ill-informed and thus wrote too soon what I wrote. I already posted two messages with this same content to others who commented to me - I hope I clarified my point of view enough by now.
Cheers, A13.

Do you really prefer the cross-hand draw? I always felt off-balance, so I just use the small of the back holster.

Funny, but I feel safer walking next to you in a shopping mall than uncomfortable.

Sadly, concealed carry may be the best alternative to stopping this mindless violence.

These cowards pray on the fears of others and know they can get away with it.

There is no place in the world for behavior like this. Sad that RCMP just didn’t put this “alleged suspect” in the ground!

Now he gets to spend the rest of his life as a celebrity, go figure...sure we will hear more of him in the future :-(
