Another comment towards shorts post.
I don't like traffic. It's common for me to refer to every other driver as an idiot. I avoid cities as much as possible for this reason. I also get mad sometimes just like any other person.
I had an employee as me if I ever worried that I would get mad and shoot somebody. I laughed first, then explained to him that for all the times I had gotten mad, even furious, it had never crossed my mind that I carried a gun daily.
They don't understand that carrying a firearm is a defensive tool, not one that we associate with anger or any way to deal with frustration.
I believe that the vast majority of them can't control that side of themselves. They get mad and think about hurting people and hate themselves for it. They know they lack the ability to control that side of themselves if they were given something that leveled the playing field or gave them an advantage.
Basically, they would be like a child throwing a tantrum. Something evidenced time and time again when they don't get their way.
I've had the same questions. What really twists their noodle is when I tell them I'm actually CALMER when I carry a gun than when not. They can't grasp the concept when I'm carrying a deadly weapon, I'm much more cognizant of the deadly nature of an escalated confrontation and far more likely to keep my cool.
