WHAT'S THE RATIO OF CWP's IN YOUR STATE???

I originally got my carry permit so that I could have handguns in the truck if I decided to go to the range after work. At the time TX law allowed carry in a vehicle to and from the range, but not to and from work. The law didn't allow for unloaded and cased handguns either.

I occasionally carry now, but only if I feel circumstances warrant it. I'm not uncomfortabe without a CCW when I decide to leave it at home. It's a right, not an obligation.
 
I'm constantly on the lookout for the most concealable method of carry to avoid any printing at all, because from my experience when most people in Massachusetts find out you conceal a firearm they freak out.

Little Rhody is the same, no surprise. Even owning a gun makes everyone think you're a nut.
 
Here in southern and as well eastern Oregon from what I've seen and heard the ratio is pretty high, perhaps in large part due to the issuing sheriffs departments having the head sheriffs swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. These areas are very weapons friendly. It is sad to me that those who have CCW licenses and aren't restricted by where they work don't carry all that much. I don't leave the driveway and not carry.
 
on "Alaskan Troopers" or "Alaska Patrol" or something like that the officer told the camera crew during a traffic stop 90% of the people he pulls over have a gun. In Alaska there is no permit needed, and there are obviously other reasons why having a firearm is prudent. The officer was referring to the fact that its food for thought knowing you are approaching a vehicle with a weapon inside day in and day out.

I grew up in New England and specifically the southern tri-state area. totally different mindset. Even my buddy who grew up in a hunting, gun family who is a cop now thinks its pointles unless one lives in the ghetto. That sort of shocked me, but when you leave and live in a gun-friendly area for some yrs things like that happen. You just don't notice as much when you're in the middle of it(unless you're a transplant). Lol. People call the police if they hear one shot way out in the woods when there isn't even a way to trace where it came from in any real form. I don't blame you being a little on alert on the issue of becoming a: Man With a Gun call
