i used to carry. i let my conceal license expire on my birthday. the only place that i would not carry were places that it was prohibited. why did i get my license in the first place? i was walking my dog down the street from my house and was held up by four individuals from the car they had stolen. three of them held a gun on me. now, would having a gun in that situation of helped? no, not immediately, you can't win an already drawn gun fight. i could have, however, shot the back window out of the car or shot it in the trunk or whatever as to mark it because the cops were called and had someone pulled over that matched the description that i gave over the phone. when i was talking to the cops they mentioned in so many words that "marking" the car would've made it a lot easier to identify the assailants.
