Gracie, I know you don't get why people carry in a place like TV but, as you know, there are reasons. Everyone has a story. Some stories are pretty, some are not. Some carry just in case they need it. Some have had experiences that have let them know they need it. Some are truly in danger from another and carry for protection. Some do it just because they can. As safe as TV is, it does have its elements. So, we carry and most of us pray that the only place we will ever have to fire our weapons is at a shooting range. Regardless, we carry.

The majority who carry are very careful of their weapons. They don't flash them. They rarely even announce they have a weapon on or near them. They try to be law-abiding. Many really do know the gun laws of the state they are in and fully abide by them. Many of us take every gun-safety class we can. We know our weapons and their limitations. Hopefully, we know our own limitations as well.
