What kind of logic is that?

If you know how to disarm someone and take their gun from them, you never need to carry. Let them do the carrying for you and take it when you need it.

Or cling to the idea that in the heat of the moment you're going to suddenly become Billy The Kid and hope you survive.
See this is the problem I'm having... you think that carrying a gun makes somebody believe they are Billy the Kid and "hoping they can survive." Yet you are advocating playing Superman and ripping a gun out of some man's hand?

Frankly I don't think either method is going to do you much good. If somebody sticks you up, give them what you got and move on. A wallet is not worth fighting for. Though I defend the right to carry simply because I believe in the right.
