So just being armed is not enough, its a whole mindset(whose time has come).

AMEN!
I had to chuckle at my brothers wedding some years ago. I was his best man. All 6 of the grooms men and I were standing around the punch bowl socializing at the reception when the subject turned to firearms. As it turned out all seven of us were armed. Two had ankle holsters, the rest of us shoulder holsters. The ushers were also armed. No one had discussed it, nor was it planned. It is just the "mindset" of the group. I felt very safe.
In the group that I "hang out" (so to speak) with, rarely will you find someone unarmed unless we are at work. I travel in and out of manufacturing plants - most of which forbid firearms. There is one in my truck though.
Kinda like underwear - We don't leave home without it!

Cordially,

funny you mentioned lawyers....my wedding 25 years ago in a couple of weeks. was held in Queens NY with the reception in Brooklyn.

I noticed my cousins husband, a city cop had an ankle holster on.

A few days later I brought it up in conversation with my father in law. a self professed trade unionist and serial democrat. He was furious and told me he would have booted him out if he knew. I quietly reminded him that in the crappy neighborhoods that he had scheduled our wedding in we should have been thankful that a trained armed person was there to provide some defense if needed, this socialist mecca of NY City does not allow ordinary citizens to carry. But of course this went on deaf ears.
