1. Because the police aren't going to be able to respond fast enough.
There are many other reasons, but that one kind of sums it all up. I also see it as a duty to protect my family, myself, and the innocent. I believe that if no one exercises the right to bear arms, that it will become another "forgotten" right. I believe that where guns are involved, violence is actually decreased (an armed society is a polite society). etc etc etc...

Because I learned long ago that evil men do evil things.
That has been true since the time of Cain and Abel, it is still true now, and it will true as long as man walks this earth. Wishing it was not so, or being harmless won't change that fact -- all it will do is enable the predators.

1. I live in the SE USA, where LE response may be anywhere from 1 minute to 1 hour.
2. Nastiness is popping up all over. Fast food restaurants, convenience stores, the neighborhood, even an eyeglass shop in the mall.
3. There are just some mean, evil ba$tards out there who don't give a rip for another human life.
I'll think of a few other reasons later, but for now, those will do.

Thegun,
Cause I couldn't carry a cop in my pocket, that's why.

Great question. I carry because I am responsible for protecting my own life and not the false pretenses of relying on someone else to do it for me (IE. the Police or the Government).

I carry for several reasons.
1) It is my right and my duty to protect myself from harm.
2) I love life too much to rely on a LEO to be there when I need one.
3) There are way too many nut jobs in this world.
