I'm all for an armed citizenry and believe we should all have the right to carry (I actually think it shouldn't have to be spelled-out in state law), but I'm not sure I can agree with your seeming "enthusiasm" about carrying a weapon.

The fact is: carrying a gun in a pain in the butt (sometimes literally, depending on what and how you carry). I have a permit and carry where it's legal for me, but don't do it with any enthusiasm. I think it's a shame that we live in a society were I feel the need to carry. If we would just stop wasting police and judicial system resources on all the "victim-less crime" (like drugs) and focus on the violent criminals, we would probably be living in a country where I would not feel a need to carry a weapon.
