Due to the sensitive nature of this question, I understand there might not be many responses, or even votes, but I'm curious, anyway. If you chose to vote, but not comment, I'm sure we all understand.
A recent sidebar conversation I've been having with a fellow TFL'er living in CA got me to thinking about the issue of 'illegally' carrying a gun, in states that are not gun friendly.
I live in New Jersey, one of the most gun-unfriendly states in the country, and view a law that places me in jeopardy, and unable to defend myself, as morally ambiguous at best.
I'd like to hear from those of you who live in gun-unfriendly states, and/or who DON'T have CCWs. If you can legally carry in your state, please do not vote.
Do you carry anyway, despite the enormous legal risks that you take, and probable jail sentence you would have, if you were caught? Are you not concerned about what would happen, if you were in a situation where even if shots weren't fired, that someone would report an altercation to the police, and they'd be on your doorstep in a heartbeat, to haul you away?
Just curious to see how many of us carry, despite the fact that it's 'illegal' to do so.
