I will NEVER understand the "need" for people to carry, openly or concealed, a weapon for their "protection."
In my nearly 50 years, even with social anxiety, I've never felt so threatened by other people to carry a weapon.

IMHO, people who carry weapons around look more afraid than brave. It's not a very "alpha look," if that's what those people think they're portraying.
Now, walking bravely in public completely nude, THAT's Alpha! LOL
