These conversations, of course, can be described as anything from truly helpful to truly antagonistic.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t usually volunteer the fact that I am carrying concealed, but if the conversation goes there and I\u2019m comfortable with the person I\u2019m talking to, I might reveal that I am indeed a responsibly armed American: licensed, trained, practiced and an all-around nice guy who\u2019s doing what he can to help ensure the safety and well-being of those around me. Here then, are the top five questions people ask me and how I answer them.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Why?<\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly enough, people ask this question less than they did 10 years ago. Credit the USCCA and other like-minded organizations for helping the general populace better understand and appreciate the 2nd Amendment, pro-gun\/pro-carry legislation and the firearms industry.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, when people ask, &#8220;Why?&#8221; depending on other nuances of the conversation, they\u2019ll get answers from me along the following lines: \u201cBecause I can.\u201d \u201cI enjoy exercising my 2nd Amendment right.\u201d \u201cMy local police encourage me to do so.\u201d \u201cBecause the best way to deal with a bad guy with a gun is usually a good guy with a gun.\u201d As some of the rationality of this thinking hopefully sinks in, I might turn the question around on them: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you carry?\u201d Almost always, there\u2019s a collision of worldviews that are worth exploring, such as the nature of man, the reality of evil and so forth. Just keep in mind that people can genuinely ask \u201cWhy?\u201d and you might be the one who carefully guides their thinking and helps them see the matter with more clarity.<\/p>\n<h2>2. How often?<\/h2>\n<p>After the initial philosophical wrangling, the next question explores some practical implications. The questioner might now be seeing the issue in a new light but won\u2019t be sure how it works out in daily life. How often do I carry? \u201cWhenever and wherever I can,\u201d is usually my response. To the bank, yes. To the grocery store, yes. To the gas station, yes. To the office, yes. And so on. And then, in my own house? Yep.<\/p>\n<p>While some places might indeed be more \u201csafe\u201d than others and might demand some changes in how I carry, the idea is to get the questioner to consider some key points: Taking responsibility for one\u2019s safety (and for the care of a handgun) is a full-time, full-orbed consideration. Carrying a handgun for self-defense requires a different mindset, one that not only leaves naive assumptions about life in the past but also one that elevates awareness about events that could transpire (but probably won\u2019t) while still maintaining a friendly, caring demeanor and some semblance of being \u201ccomfortable\u201d while carrying a gun. Carrying a concealed handgun is not an all-or-nothing proposition \u2014 as in, you either carry it everywhere or you carry it nowhere \u2014 but rather actively choosing not to carry at certain times or in certain places.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Are you carrying now?<\/h2>\n<p>This question is usually followed by a quick scan of my body and sometimes a step back as the matter sinks into the right here and right now. At this point, the question, scan and step back are not the result of doubt or fear \u2014 the conversation would have ended long ago were that the case \u2014 but of intrigue. Depending on the circumstances, I might answer the question with something like, \u201cWell, remember that \u2018concealed\u2019 means \u2018concealed.\u2019 Nobody but me should know, right?\u201d Or I might just admit that I am and that I would appreciate them not divulging that information to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>If the questioner is demonstrating true intrigue, genuine interest and would be helped in their understanding by a few more details, I might reveal a bit more information about how I am carrying or what gun I happen to have on me. As a general rule, I\u2019ll never show the location of carry on my body nor will I show them my gun.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Do you carry while you\u2019re at ______?<\/h2>\n<p>This is related to how often you carry, but here you can insert whatever the questioner perceives as the most unlikely place or circumstance for carrying a concealed handgun. While you\u2019re at church? At Aunt Betty\u2019s? At your workplace? While shopping in suburbia? And the list goes on. It\u2019s up to you to know your state and local laws about where its and is not legal to carry and how you\u2019ll answer such a query. But what the questioner is probably exploring in this question is how pervasive your self-defense mindset actually is and whether there\u2019s actually a place or time where carrying a handgun would simply be regarded as inappropriate or outside some boundary. The better question is whether there\u2019s a place where you will not carry \u2014 and why.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Who else do you know that carries?<\/h2>\n<p>After the matter resolves in terms of the immediate relationship, it\u2019s natural for the questioner to consider who else might think this way and actually follow through. I don\u2019t recommend you reveal the names or otherwise indicate who else you know who carries \u2014 it\u2019s \u201cconcealed carry,\u201d right? \u2014 so it\u2019s best to help the questioner understand that, in a general sense, there are millions from all walks of life who think the same things and exercise their right to carry, probably more than the questioner has ever considered.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, depending on the nuances of the conversation and your perception of how this person thinks, it might be appropriate to turn this question around on him or her and ask about his or her level of interest in self-defense or shooting in general. Don\u2019t try to win the person over to daily concealed carry right away, but be willing to help him or her explore the matter further. Offer to provide helpful resources, offer to take him or her to a range, and so on. Your patient and careful handling of questions might be what that person needs to consider how he or she will take the next step in taking responsibility for his or her safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the most common questions you hear?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Discover how you can join more than 200,000 responsibly armed Americans who already rely on the USCCA to protect their families, futures and freedoms: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscca.com\/GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"USCCATop5\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">USCCA.com\/gunsamerica<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t usually volunteer the fact that I am carrying concealed, but if the conversation goes there&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,234,340],"tags":[132,586,127,329,620,544,211],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-78840","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-columns","9":"category-columns-ccw-edc","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-column","12":"tag-concealed-carry","13":"tag-edc","14":"tag-tactical","15":"tag-top-5","16":"tag-training"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
