Why Do You Carry Concealed?

I do because I am a petite female who is alone/working by myself at times and it makes me feel much safer. I know physically I cannot protect myself from another person who is trying to hurt/rob/kill me.
 
I carry because, even though I feel I live in a safe neighborhood, my house is at the back of the addition next to a field. No one would even hear someone breaking in. Someone has already tried when I left all the lights off one night. I want to be ready if they try it again.
 
Because I am realist who understands that the government & police cannot protect me from the common criminal. The government might be able to detect terrorist plots, but they can't protect me & my family when some depraved deranged maniac starts shooting at a mall or grocery store. I take responsibility for the protection of my family. I am a Christian conservative. In the bible Jesus Christ said if you do not have sword, sell your cloak and but one. My firearm is my modern day sword to protect myself, my family & my friends.
 
Protection. On the ranch, I carry because we have a lot of critters (including a pack of pitbulls) that pose threats. I'm so comfortable with it at the house and on the land, sometimes I forget I'm carrying when I'm in town.
 
Because I can...

Because the police cant protect me 24/7. I dont have the money for 24 hr security detail and before I moved to the great state of Georgia from MD and I used to leave for work at 3 am and was so worried i would be robbed or killed without even being able to put up a fight! The MD amd DC area only have laws that protect the criminals and not law abiding citizen's

I carry to protect my wife and family and as a business owner who sometimes is walking around completely alone in some remote areas with 10,000.00 worth of equipment I'm not about to give that up without a proper response.
 
I carry because I can, but only one of my guns is concealed, the main gun is open carry 100% of the time, its legal and if somebody don't like it, they don't have to look at it
 
Im from MD and fromna high crime area and used to be scared shitless when I used to leave for work @ 3 am. Moved to Ga. Got my weapons permit and feel right at home

You are so lucky to live where you can do this. I'm stuck in Maryland.

Sorry Bud, it wasn't always this way I used to live in upstate NY, and there, at the time, you had to know somebody or be somebody, or about all you were going to carry around was a slingshot, and another thing is here you don't have to qualify with each of your weapons, you can take your permit with a 22, and carry a 500 mag if you want, only thing now that keeps us from shooting more is the price of ammo, cause its went way past rediculas long ago
 
Just a note: Learning to reload your own ammo is a great part time hobby. I do .38, 357 Mag., 40, 44 Mag. and 45.
 
I carry because I am older now. I believe that not being nimble, very strong or quick makes me an easy target for holdup, knockout game, gang attack or any other of a number of incidences where, without my side arm, I would be in serious trouble.
 
Most thugs that plan to attack a person will first try to intimidate that person if they don't see a firearm. I conceal carry so that I have a chance to draw my weapon. If you open carry, the same person will attack without a warning. Conceal carrying just makes more sense in giving you a fighting chance to defend yourself.
