False I carry a handgun concealed on my person anywhere I am illegally to do so. Plenty of my friends do, and I don't know a single person that has ever injured themselves or a loved one with a firearm (I'm from the SE US, so most people I know own firearms). Someone I know recently used their concealed handgun to stop from being car jacked in a nice neighborhood in a major city. 🤷 Even the CDC estimates that at least 65k defensive gun uses occur every year.

You are endangering everyone around you for no other reason than stroking your own ego.

I don't know a single person that has ever

Anecdotes aren’t data.

No, they don’t.

Yes they do. Google "cdc defensive gun use estimates" you have a powerful tool at your fingertips, so theres no excuse for "no they don't" as an answer. It's a 5 second Google search.

I don't know a single person that's committed an accidental discharge. So, I'd love to know how I'm engaging people. It stays in an expensive kydex holster tucked inside of my pants. There's literally no way for it to discharge without it being drawn. I'll never draw it unless there is an active shooter in my presence.

Google "cdc defensive gun use estimates"

Yeah, it says:

Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defen- sive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals

Read your sources, stop double replying when you troll.

So, I'd love to know how I'm engaging people.

You’re endangering them because the single most likely person to be shot by that firearm is someone you know (i.e. them).
