I read the following article on NBC Chicago's website about a man who was attacked by a knife-wielding man while walking his dog. His throat was slit from behind. The brazen man then stood nearby holding his knife as others near a bus stop assisted the injured man.

"The incident, Schmidt said, has strengthened his views in opposition of Illinois' concealed carry laws.
"And now it's justified for us to be carrying weapons," Schmidt said. "If they are, so should we."
I'm seeing a few more stories like this recently, where the increase in viciousness and randomness of crimes is changing peoples' views toward concealed carry laws.
With flesh-eating attackers (several now) and purely random attempted murders in broad daylight, it seems that more people fear going out without some kind of protection. I think as our economy remains stagnant, people are becoming more desperate and in some cases, frustrations are being vented in increasingly bizarre and deadly ways.
