The problem with this statement is that even where CCW is unrestricted (like in Vermont), only a few percent ever choose to carry, and even fewer carry all the time.

For good reason... Carrying concealed is a lifestyle decision, not a choice of jewelry. Considering whether to carry on any given day's outing means taking on a lot of procedures and habits college students aren't accustomed to, and so it becomes a practical decision based on an assessment of the risk. If the assumed risk is low, most wont. As that perceived risk grows, more may decide it's worth the hassle.

What nonsense. I throw my carry piece on the same as my cell phone. It’s absolutely not an issue to me. I’ve been carrying for 6 years now. I’m aware, but it’s not like it’s some ‘omgzzzz ohh noes, I got a gun!’ thing at all.

It just takes a little bit of preperation to make sure it’s really concealed and in a good holster.
