I carry everywhere I go. I wish more people did. The fact is there is a political and judicial climate right now that discourages (to put it lightly) self-defense of people like you and me, particularly with a weapon. I live very close to Sanford, FL. I never would have though the Zimmerman case would have gone anywhere near as far as it did. He was getting the crap beat out of him when he drew and fired. You’re advocating drawing (and I’m assuming firing, because you don’t draw without that intention) during a situation that is much less violent than the one he was in. Didn’t work out so well for him.
I suspect that the idiots that are coordinating these events aren’t thinking about doing them in areas where it’s less likely that people are carrying. I don’t think they are forward thinkers. They’re coordinating them in areas that are easy for their useful idiots to get to. You happen to not live in one of those areas. I love N GA, by the way. Started visiting the Blue Ridge area about 10 years ago every chance we could and now have a couple friends that have places in the area.
Just a little FRiendly observation. If you’re in jail it marginalizes our numbers. ;)

Please stay in Sanford. :-)
