For some of us, there are very valid reasons to carry and not just for general protection. I was anti-gun most of my adult life. Unfortunately, I have had a stalker for almost 20 years now and, even after a prison sentence for stalking and attempted murder, he has not given up. He is the reason I moved to TV. If he ever finds me here, he will be dead (or I will). Florida has a truly lovely law that if you feel you are in mortal danger, you can shoot. I spent 2 years afraid to leave my house after he attacked. I refuse to live that way again and if it means I carry at all times,, so be it. I have no doubt in my mind that I will use it if I see this thing on two legs. No place is 100% safe. I learned that the hard way.
