Generally speaking I'm pragmatic when it comes to carrying a weapon. The same as carrying a tourniquet, first aid kit, or helmet. Personally I live in an extremely safe community with almost no violent crime. So carrying a weapon is comparable to wearing a helmet while driving a car. While it could save my life, it's too much trouble considering how rare such situations are.

However, I understand there are hundreds of reasons to carry a weapon and everyone's situation is unique. If you want to put up with the trouble to carry one, it is literally your right. I just wish people would be more responsible about their weapons in general...
