Morgan, What saxman says is'nt predominent in the U.S. However, it is spreading. Where I live in Oregon, we are just off of the I-5 corridor. The highway which is the main artery for drug transport on the west coast. My daughter manages a shoe store in a shopping center within sight of I-5. She was robbed by, probably a Meth addict, who hit her twice in the neck with a stun gun, and took $900. Fortunately nothing worse happened. We are experiencing more and more of this all of the time. The theory is that if scum like this knows that their victim maybe armed, they will think twice. And largely this theory has proven to be accurate. States who have approved concealed licenses, see a dramatic decrease in criminal activity. We are not "Cowboys or Gunslingers". We are merely trying to deter this type of behavior.I carry a concealed firearm most of the time.
