The Umbrella gets Stronger


The umbrella I refer to is the protection afforded to society when private citizens carry guns. As I've said before, carrying a weapon doesn't just protect you. The benifit is not only on yourself. The benifit is also extended to those citizens who you can protect from harm, be it a rape you prevent, a robbery you interupt, a murder you block, or a beating you stop. The more private citizens with guns there are, the higher the likelyhood that a prospective criminal will commit a crime around those armed citizens, thus ending their little crime spree. The protection of concealed carry isn't a small shield for one person, it's an umbrella that protects a large group.

And it just got stronger.

Welcome to the ranks, Mollbot. May good judgement and prudence be your friends.
