Poll: How many of you carry a concealed weapon?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Consider this to be an itch I just have to scratch. I pretty much know how this is going to go over, but I’m still curious: How many people carry a concealed weapon, are licensed to carry a concealed weapon, or think that such a thing is beyond the pale.

Remember, people, this is NOT a debate. It is merely a poll, an unscientific poll at that. If you wish to explain yourself, please do. But no matter what your explanation is, I will not criticize it nor will I attempt to argue with you. Hopefully you will respect my wishes and do the same.

Thank you.

I do sometimes, but never to a picnic or anything.

I’m licensed to carry, but I generally don’t carry unless I’ll be working late or such. I keep meaning to look into something a little smaller that I can pocket carry. If I find something I like, then I might carry a lot more frequently.

Carry piece is a Sig P229 in 9mm.

No, I don’t nor am I licensed to do so. I would probably think less of a person who did without a sensible reason (as I find it needlessly antagonistic and indicative of a low sense of self-esteem/self-efficacy). A generalized mistrust of the world is not a sensible reason in my view.

I carried and have a CCW license, but I don’t carry anymore because I’m no longer working delivering medications. The license expires in 2011 and when it does, I’ll probably just let it go.

I don’t, it would be illegal where I live.

do knives count? I carried at least a jackknife with a razor sharp blade and sometimes a gerber with a lockblade. I quit doing both after getting nailed at airport security a couple of times. If I move back to the US and not doing high travel, first thing I’ll do is pick up a blade.

Never owned a gun and no desire for ccw.

Why not try out the poll function?

I don’t but don’t have much of a problem with it. I work on a college campus and it is illegal to carry there in this state. I’m not too interested in answering questions about that right now, either.

Same as firstname - concealed carry is illegal in Canada.

10

I have a permit, but I don’t usually carry. I do keep a pistol (and a holster) in my truck.

11

No: it’s illegal where I live, and I have no reason to.

12

I have a permit but don’t normally carry.

13

Yeah, same for me; you just said it much more better-er and using more prettified wordage.

I don’t; I’m not licensed to use guns in any way.

16

My husband has a permit, and carries one when neccesary. Often he will have one in the vehicle when we go on long trips.

17

I have the license, but have never carried concealed. (Unless you count putting an unloaded pistol in my backpack so I could take it to a shop for repair.) I’ve no reason to carry.

18

Do not carry, do not have a license to carry, do not even have a gun.

I live in New Jersey, ergo I don’t have a concealed carry license recognized by this state, and am not willing to apply for one here because then I’d have to explain that “Have you ever been denied a license in another state” question next time I move. I have a GFL from GA, and I carried when I felt the need in that state.
