Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't understand what's the big deal about concealed carry of guns. I don't want to show that I have gun. It's just a matter of privacy for me. I don't want to be assaulted from behind by somebody who is trying to steal my gun. Also don't want to look like an idiot who is showing everyone his gun. I don't see what's the difference between open carry and concealed carry in terms of public safety. So why concealed carry is illegal in some states?

"I'm armed, it's in x place, I can hand it to you or you can take it for your own safety" usually works. No one likes life ending surprises.

That's a rational comment in a thread where people want to feel victimized by the police.

Ooof, victimhood is a state of mind.

Hey, I trust the state and know that there are no bad cops, ever, so let me give up my one piece of self defense so you know that you're in complete control of me, and you feel safer
