Skrew conceal carry. I'm for holsters and open carry. Why hide it?
There was a time in this nations history, that you didn't leave home without your gun.
Today is really no different.
The 2nd amendment gave us the right to defend ourselves as an individual, against everything, as each US citizen was equal to a King in Europe. We bow to no one!
I agree, but for now, in Tx all we have as an option is Conceal carry. Open Carry would be an improvement. It's always been my contention that a person is less likely to commit a crime if he sees he is surrounded by armed citizens.
I'd staple the gun on my forehead...let people know right off not to mess with me.
I'd rather avoid conflict than have to draw my weapon.
That's why there are prominently displayed NRA stickers on the doors to our house. Set one foot in here and I will promptly blow you away, but I'd rather it not come to that.

True dat.
I wasn't born here, but I got here as fast as I could!
I grew up in Austin and now own a home here, along with property near Gonzales.
If you live in a place where you have to carry a pistol to feel secure...You had better move to a better place that is civilized.
You may have a problem though..because everyone is so paranoid that where every you move the other guy will be packing..maybe move to a country that is not a gun cultured place?
Don't want to sound rude..but being up here in Toronto..it's not an issue yet...and yes- there are some guns but very rare on the over all...We never let it get that bad that we need weapons to feel secure.
As for your question - seeing that you have a thriving gun culture...to carry or not to carry? I guess it's okay..but to carry a concealed weapon for no good reason just makes you a bit of a nut....if there is a valid reason- go head...BUT if you are bright and intelligent..Your mind is all you need...Unless you are a bit dumb and looking for trouble...No I am not anti-gun...just anti jerk/

I probably should have specified that this poll was for people who live on American soil, not for those who live in countries that only survive because of the protection that the US affords them.
On a side note, this must be a different Toronto than the one you're bragging about.

All from the last few days in beautiful Toronto, although I'm sure now you'll explain that those sorts of things never happen in your part of Toronto because you're smart and you stay away from places where guns might be needed for protection.
