We can't eliminate all risk, so the question has to be what risks do we accept and what kind of a society do we want to become to eliminate certain risks? Personally, I can't equate concealed carry with other forms of risk management such as auto insurance because you simply cannot forget that you have that gun and go on with your life.

Yesterday I was in line behind a police officer at Peets. I gave him a wide berth, and I stopped my four year old from running around. Personally, I don't want to have to worry that if somebody bumps me in the coffee line, they're going for my gun, and I don't want to live with the operating assumption that life threatening violence can happen around every corner in a good neighborhood the same way I live with the assumption that car accidents can happen.
