32% of adults in the USA say they personally own a gun. A still larger percentage, 44%, say they live in a house with a gun. An estimated 6 million American adults carried a loaded handgun with them daily in 2019, double the number who said they carried a gun every day in 2015 (study published in the American Journal of Public Health) . Even if there is a constitutional right to carry a handgun for self-defense (not hunting or recreation), do you think that carrying a loaded gun in public makes it safer? I'm inclined to say the exact opposite.

I don't know. Just don't piss them off.

Do you think that allowing gun owners to carry their guns in public places makes these places safer or less safe? (Page 2)

  Bad guy shoot.
  Good guy shoots at him.
  Police comes and doesn't know who is good.

  It would only be safe if the town has no law enforcement.
  Otherwise it would be 3 way conflict
