Guns kill people. 90% of people equate guns to violent impending death. Right or wrong, that is the publics perception. If u aren't in a uniform, and you have a gun, people will panic. If that is your goal then go ahead. If its not your goal, use your head and your discretion. Ccw.
Please provide proof with cites and/or links to verifiable scientific articles or news articles to back up your assertion that 90% of people equate guns to violent impending death. Please also provide cites and/or links to verifiable proof of your assertion that such is the public's perception.
If you cannot provide such proof then it would appear your goal is to assert your opinion as fact. If you have facts... I challenge you Sir... man up and PROVIDE PROOF!
I suspect that what we will hear from you is either insults, misdirection, deflection, or... crickets. But certainly not any factual verifiable proof your assertions have any credibility.
And guns don't always kill people but they do save people from harm or death since a study by Gary Kleck showed that guns were used in self defense 2.5 MILLION times per year. Please follow the link below to read the entire article...

Among Kleck’s findings:
For every use of a gun to commit a crime, there are three-to-four cases of guns being used in self-defense of a crime.
Assault and robbery rates are lower when victims are armed with a gun.
A gun is used in self-defense to protect its owner from crime 2.5 million times per year, an average of once every 13 seconds.
Fifteen percent of the gun defenders interviewed believed someone would have died if they had not been armed. If true, that’s an average of one life saved due to firearm self-defense every 1.3 minutes.
In nearly 75% of the cases, the victim did not know his attackers. In nearly 50% of the cases, he faced at least two attackers and in nearly 25% of the cases, there were three or more attackers. A quarter of the incidents of self-defense occurred away from the home.
