      Are you under the impression that America has a violence crime rate of 0 and carriers are just hullicinating the existence of criminals or dangerous animals?

      If you’re cool with relying on chance that you’ll never need it, that’s fine I’m not advocating you carry or change your laws. But I prefer to have to right to carry the tools to defend myself even if I’ll likely never need them.

          So you understand the concept and need for self defense. Pepper spray and tasers don’t always work. If your assailant is on mind altering substances, pain compliance tools like PS will be inaffective. Tasers won’t work (or are less likely to work) on winter clothing.

          If you’re cool with your odds that’s fine, but I’m not willing to risk my life (or more importantly my partner’s life) when conceal carry is just as physical easy as PS.
