I have carried concealed for a long time. I do so to be prepared in the event a life threatening altercation arises. It is the same as having car insurance or health insurance. You don't want to or expect to have an accident, but your are covered if you do. You pray you never get sick or injured but you are covered if you do.

When you are in a life threatening situation, would you rather have a gun in your hand or a cop on the phone? When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away. I live in PA and work in MD.
