Training is one thing. Fear and psychological instabilities are
another. If someone is so scared of indeterminate bad guys, bogey
men, and actual neighborhood criminals, why are not these fears,
and why are not these neighborhood criminals being addressed as
the causes of the fears, rather than issuing an inexpensive legal
placebo in the form of a long-term concealed carry permit?<br>

Do you use seat belts? If so, do you do it because you are afraid
of getting in an accident? I would say that I wear them because I'd
like more options open when I've been in a collision. Seat belts
help keep you centered where the steering wheel and other controls
are so that you have more options during the accident.<br>

I've been thinking about getting a conceal carry permit, not because
I fear that shifty-eyed fellow down the block, but because it can be
a handy tool to have around if something unexpected happens and
you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. More options, in a
situation where they dwindle rapidly. Thus, a narrow-focused permit
would do me no good. It would be like having to pay to activate
your seat belt harnesses for a short period of time, only when you
think you might be driving somewhere unsafe.<br>
<br>
Nobody expects the unexpected. Therefore, you don't know when you
might need to rely on your weapon (or your seat belt) to survive.<br>
<br>
The hope would be that I would end up wasting all the money spent on
conceal carry permits because I had never ran into any kind of
situation where it was needed.<br>
