RE: How many people carry a consealed weapon (gun)
for what it's worth I have a carry permit (carry permits are less common than "regular" permits - depends on individual counties if you can even get one) I hardly ever carry mine. Just don't normally feel the need. Most the time I carry when hunting (sometimes concealed sometimes not). i got the caryy permit simply because it was an option and i figure if i'm going to have a pistol permit, might as well be able to carry concealed) I have a Fury shoulder holster for my Llama .45 and have several other pistols.
