I know quite a few people with concealed carry permits.
Where I live one can get such a permit. Unlike in US however, it's
nearly impossible here unless you are a top politician or other criminal
(though not/yet convicted) type.
Just found that as of 2009 there was 305k permits issued in Poland for
all kinds of firearms (including sports, hunting etc).
I am surprised it's that many.
So I do not know anyone having gun/permit, nor anyone wanting one.
Probably because I don't know any gangsters, any politicians, and the
few lawyers I know are yet to step up in their food chain :)
And I would not feel safer carrying a gun/knife/pointed
stick/banana/whatever - I assume that the attacker knows the gun
business better than DTP, just like I know DTP better (I hope:) than
guns/knives/pointed sticks/bananas.
Side story: with a couple of friends we go every other weekend to put
some mud on our XJ jeeps (extinct in US since cash for clunkers, so I
heard:)
We go to an abandoned army training area outside the city.
One afternoon we met there bunch of teenagers overdosing their beer(?)
after what seemed to be a paintball party. They found it worthwhile to
all shoot for a minute or two at us in our poor clunkers stuck in mud. A
stupid/minor event, nevertheless I felt lucky that it's rather difficult
around here for garden variety teenage fxxxheads to get real weapons.
