In college I got a license & carried for a brief bit. Before that I did a lot of reading on guns for self-defense.
Something the folks who had *some* sense said was that if you carry a gun, you have a personal moral responsibility to avoid situations where you would need it. Guns have 1 purpose: to kill, so instead of becoming reckless because your gun can keep you "safe," it should only ever be the last possible resort.
But that way of thinking is no fun, I guess.
