one of my shooting buddies has a concealed carry permit, and his family and close friends are aware of this.
he tells me that one time he and some friends were headed out to some social function one evening, and one jokingly asked if he was carrying. "yes" "oh good, that means you can protect us" "sorry, nope, i carry to protect myself and my wife only, you are on your own".
laws do not prevent crimes.
police do not prevent crimes.
you cannot control where criminals go and do.
but you can be ready to respond to them if they show up around you.
the police have no duty to protect you, they carry guns to protect themselves.
if you believe you don't need protection, that's fine, but don't count on others to protect you, police or civilians. you are on your own.
