I meant on as in around me (in my car, within my reach , etc) I almost never carry on me because I just dont feel the need to. I know some people like it and thats fine, i just dont feel the need to.
If i was going to a car meet, i wouldnt be carrying a gun on me, it would be in my car.
I know some people will say "Oh well whats the point then", my point is there are too many hot heads already walking around with guns, we dont need 1 more (ME) lol
My main point is if someone punches me im not shooting them.
EDIT: But i do agree with you 100%, if kid was carrying hes better off retreating and diffusing the situation which goes back to what i said earlier, as a gun owner you have a responsibility to diffuse the situation and put yourself in a position NOT to use your weapon
