I'll ignore your insult and tell you that I earned my CCW to be part of a community that uses firearms safely and responsibly. The rigorous CCW course I took was one of the most useful because it emphasized responsibilities over rights, and when not to shoot vs. when to shoot.

I carry when I'm attending religious services or when I'm in public spaces where firearms aren't banned. I've never needed a gun for self-protection--and, please God, I never will. But if some terrorist or psychopath starts shooting, I want to be able to protect my family.
