vs. reality. I have known many with concealed carry permits and few who wish to protect you. Every state has the basic premise that concealed carry is for self defense of the carrier and those they are in charge of. Concealed carry doesn't include police work and those people know it. If your ridiculous caricature had any basis in fact, the millions of concealed carriers in 49 states with concealed carry, would be creating the fabled rivers of blood espoused for so many years until it actually became obvious that it was fiction...anyone saying it labeled a clown.
