not everyone is trained to handle actual confrontation with the appropriate skills.
Most people aren’t trained for that and I wager most people that carry aren’t either. These people don’t know enough to even realize that they don’t know everything about handling a situation like that and that’s incredibly dangerous.
I suspect that a lot of people that carry do it because it makes them feel powerful. A lot of them even probably dream that they’ll get to use it.
The goal of the 2nd amendment was to put the people on par with the military so it couldn’t be used against them, but that only worked when the military was a bunch of dudes on horses with hunting rifles. In my opinion, the power gap is so large now that the 2nd amendment is outdated and is just causing more problems than it’s worth.
