I know a few ex and current law enforcement/ military/security people and they carry EVERYWHERE.... Laws, gun free zones notwithstanding. As it was explained to me why they take the risk.....Bad guys and perps are lawbreakers by definition... They don't care about signs.
.... "You'll never know I'm carrying unless a situation arises that I have to draw my gun.... And it that case you're gonna be damn glad I did."

I'm assuming the people you're referring to have clearance to carry always?

If nobody needs one, how do you propose to make that happen unless someone takes them. Obama says his biggest failure is not being able to enact more gun control. Do you think he would allow any private citizens to own an ar-15?

Hillary has said she would like to see Australian style gun control. Guess what they did in Australia?

Keep military-style weapons off our streets. Military-style assault weapons do not belong on our streets. They are a danger to law enforcement and to our communities. Hillary will work to keep assault weapons off our streets and supports reinstating the assault weapons ban.

How many situations have you encountered where the outcome was altered due to you having, showing, or God forbid, using your carrying weapon?

is this serious?

To borrow from a meme, gun control is like getting a vasectomy because your neighbor has too many kids.
