That's not our disconnect. Of course, a gun is a useful tool in the appropriate situation. So is a defibrillator. So is a hammer to bust a back window to let a kid or a dog out of a hot car. No one's advocating we all walk around for the greater good with defibrillators or hammers.
Our disconnect is our respective articles of faith. You assume that the mass of people who advocate for concealed carry do so from entirely pure motives. I assume that they do so because they think that carrying a gun is an ego boost and that they, deep down, or maybe not so deep down, hope they get a chance to kill somebody. The truth is probably somewhere in between, but I still think it's closer to my view than yours.
