    Because I grew up hunting and going to gunshows, and have a lot of first hand experience around the reality of this issue. Out of all the CCW holders I know, only one of them actually has anything reasonable to say about why they got liscensed. Most of it just pure powerfantasy cringe, with half of them convinced they're literally cowboys. My neighbor essentially just sticks as many guns to himself as possible, despite being obese and disabled. I'm pretty sure his wife has to put his ankle-holster on for him, and I legitimately have no idea how he would ever be able to get that weapon into service lmao.

    Let's put it this way;

    Do you want a single pulling duty-finder tank carrying a firearm IRL? How about your average walmart karen?

    I'm not entirely against something like concealed carry, but the reality is that there are very few people with the presence of mind and emotional maturity to actually handle that responsibility. Mass-arming the population to somehow deter crime is fantasy; Most Americans shouldn't be allowed within 100 feet of a firearm.

    My experience is much different, almost every firearm owner I know is knowledgeable about what they carry and why. Most are indeed hobbyist, and most are hunters. Tis a rural area in which I live. You are welcome to your opinion, as I am mine. Furthermore, you are sounding very much like a "I own guns, but I am not one of the those filthy gunowners!" with those closing statements.
