That I know of.
I am a big supporter of all rights in Constitution but have not lived in a place I needed to carry a gun.
Yet.

As a single man since age 52 I have over the years gotten out and about in the evenings in Southern California and elsewhere several times a week. Within a short period of time I met a (medically from a rotator cuff surgery issue) retired LA County Deputy Sheriff about my age with whom I enjoyed hanging out in nightspots where we were going to meet single women. It was a while before I realized it but he carried. The reason he told me was that if he ran into some ex-con whom he had arrested and put in jail he wanted to be able to protect himself. One night I asked him to show me his hand gun which he very carefully did by barely revealing it to me in his waistband which was always covered by a never tucked in loose hanging Hawaiian or other style sport shirt. Over the course of a couple of years he introduced me to many LEOs out and about. Every single one of them was wearing an untucked loose sport shirt and was carrying for the same reasons my friend was.
So...you just never know!
