usaign, I respect your right to have what whatever opinion you so choose, as well as your choice in carry arms and number. However, I do find your last post to be a little sensationalist and alarmist.

Yes, we know that dangers do exist, and 99 percent of folks on this forum either carry (at least some of the time) or wish they could. But IMO your numbers are alarmist. 2300? How many of those turn up healthy and well? And let us not forget there are over 300 million people in America. Even if the 2300 number is accurate, that's just .0000076 percent of the population. Nevertheless, that is too many and we should be smart and prepare. But there is such a thing as overkill.
