Amongst the general populace, carrying concealed is just bringing your baby blanket with you. It might make you feel empowered/comfortable but only because you've never thought about it or been there.

I respectfully disagree Zeke,
While when carrieng a weapon, and not needing it, is a security blanket. However if for any reason a situation arises that requires you to protest your family and/or your self it becomes the difference between life and death or serious injury.
I have been in that situation, and there is a great deal of responsibility in when and how one reacts to a criminal attack. By displaying my pistol forcefully, I thwarted off both attacks by multiple attackers. If not I would have had to kill or injure these men.
And I might point out that I have had to cause very damaging injuries to attackers, when I defended my family and myself, as well as receiving injuries to myself during this attack.
Sincerely,
Bill
