Will kinda hurt my feelings. Being all racial and everything about rednecks and such. Discrimination hurts.
Thanks buddy , I'll get over it.
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
So help me out here, I have my CCP however I work at a federal installation. They don't take kindly to people bringing their own. I'm also TDY in San Diego. CA has some stupid laws on gun control and as a novice with firearms am not sure what's legal and what's not. Makes it really hard when I travel to bring anything with. Even in my daily routine carrying is a major issue that I haven't found a way to resolve yet.
3Chief...ever thought of not carrying ? Just a thought. Yes, I know everyone has the right to do so. But why? A few of you are going to start with the "what ifs " which is fine. But who on this site, while not preforming as part of your job had to shoot, defend someone else or has been in a position that someone needed killing? What if you do kill someone. Even if found not guilty by a court of law your life will ben over as you know it. What if you were only going to get an ass wuppin? What if it was all a mistake and you are found negligent ? What if ____________________? What if you could rewind the day and start over, not show your ass, walk away from a confrontation or just laugh it off and go play bingo? What if.
P.S. Before you start, I have a permit to carry in all 52 states. I do carry on occasion, when the area I will be in dictates it, but not all the time. It is not necessary.
Go ahead I have my flame suit on!

The question is, what if you need a gun and don't have one? If you need a gun, nothing else will do.
You do pose valid questions and the answer is proper training, both with shooting as well as the legal aspects of the use of force. There is A LOT more to carrying a gun than buying one and sticking it in your belt. If you are not willing to educate yourself, you should not own a gun.
Please tell me about your permit to carry in 52 states. I have never heard of such a thing. (Unless, you are/were LE and in that case it is not a "permit".)
Of everything you wrote, I find this the most interesting: "I do carry on occasion, when the area I will be in dictates it..." as that is the exact opposite of my behavior. I only carry when its NOT necessary. I never carry in an area that dictates it as I never go to any locations where a gun is needed. There is nothing that I need that is worth going to location that puts my life at risk. I subscribe to the practice: "Don't do stupid things with stupid people in stupid places." It has served me well.
I carry a handgun when I am 100% certain, without a shadow of a doubt, that I will not be in a gunfight. If I thought I would get into a gunfight, I would carry a rifle, and bring several friends with rifles.
Violence happens everywhere at all times. Sure, some locations are more prone than others, but no location is immune. Choose any victim, and I am sure they all "felt safe" right up until the time they were killed.
If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.
