I do not have a concealed carry permit "yet" for several reasons.
1) I hate the idea of having my name put a govt list.
2) I do not typically find my self in bad locations where I feel I need to carry. (That said, If I know I may be traveling through a bad part of town on a rare occasion for work, rest assured I will have what I need to protect myself in my car.
)
3) The whole idea that someone other than my dad, granddad or my old drill instructor is supposed to officially train me prior to the govt allowing me to protect myself makes my blood boil.
