Armed & Dangerous Defending Us

While on vacation a few weeks ago, I had an interesting conversation with my sister’s BF. He seems like an amiable bloke (from my interactions with him). I really like him. During chit-chat we started talking about guns(maybe b/c I’d just taken a CCW course about a week before). We disagree somewhat about whether or not people should be allowed to carry a firearm in public(concealed or not).

He was pretty uneasy about folks carrying guns in public.
But I’m not. And after talking with him a while longer, I think I came to the proper conclusion as to why we each thought the way we did.

He lives and works in the ghettos of Akron, OH. So when he thinks of someone carrying a gun, he pictures a thug.
I live in one of the nicest ‘burbs of Denver CO, so when I think of someone carrying a gun, I’m picturing a pretty good guy looking to protect himself and others.

Who do you think is going to be carrying openly or getting a Concealed Carry Permit? A guy looking to rob someone? Or a guy looking out for himself(and possibly others)? Hint: You don’t need a CCP to rob someone and I doubt you’ll see Tupac with a sidearm in a holster on his hip.
