But I still cannot lawfully carry at the Post Office or at a Bank, or at the University or any school. Even though me with my weapon there may save lives. Beyond that, nobody but me will know I have it unless I need to use it to stop a crime.
I think it's really a major mis-perception of what firearms are, how they can be used defensively, and why it is so very important that those willing and responsible ARE armed. It's like having tens of thousands of free cops!
They really do confuse just because you can, because you take your defensive art seriously, you must be dangerous and wish harm on others. I think THEY would and that is the only reason they would carry a weapon so the assumption is that's why you do too. I also do not see exactly how my martial art is any different than someone knowing Kung-Fu or Karate to a similar proficiency. Mine just ends fights in an extremely decisive fashion and there are few situations that are beyond me if I am armed, it's very freeing. I do not need to fear anyone or anything.
I've found that people with CCWs are calmer, more rational, slower to anger, and tend to make better decisions overall than the general population. In fact when I was a cop I tended to treat CCW permits as "confirmed good guy" cards.
That means decals!
