You are lucky to have never been robbed and therefore still have the benefit of being naive.

I was "visited" by bad meth heads 16 times that we know of over a 4 month period. They broke into my shop, cased out my house, and stole my kids ability to walk to grandmas house. I am a farmer. I have six kids. I live in a rural area on the farm where i was raised. It didn't end until I shot a guy. Somehow it all stopped after that.

I am not James Bond, I am a balding, weight gaining, middle aged man that gave up on being suave or cool about 5 kids ago. The vast majority of rural folks that have a concealed carry permit do it to protect their families. I don't want to have to take off my gun when I run to the feed store or the wife needs me to grab a jug of milk from the supermarket.
