Last I’d heard, 15 percent of the American population are licenced concealed carriers. Less than 1/10th of one percent of them break the law. Far less than the percentage of law enforcement personnel that break the law.
Yet, these shootings are OUR fault?!
Three or four years ago, an old boyfriend gave me a gun for self protection.
The only thing is; I’m afraid of it. (Stupid. I know)
Growing up in Texas, my father gave me a 22 rifle and I was never afraid of it, but somehow the pistol frightens me.
It needs cleaning badly, but I haven’t touched it in all these years. I guess I’m afraid it will go off or something.
I wouldn’t know the first thing about cleaning it anyway.
If somebody got after me, and I fired it, would it explode or something for having not been cleaned?
I feel safer having it around, and I guess I’m hoping if somebody got after me I could frighten them off by just pointing it at them. :)

Poor comparison.
That 1/10th of one percent doesn’t spend much of their working day in contact with the “bad guys”.
