Doesn't work. I have several. And I have a concealed carry. A conservative knowing these things has never been scared. They use it as an excuse to pull out theirs because they think like children and have to show and tell. Even if it's in a public place, like the damn corner of a courthouse. Which is not the kind of place a responsible adult should ever reveal a weapon.

I have a concealed curry, in case me wife eats it

You're a fucking coward and would run as soon as you heard a gunshot, just like every gun-owning coward in the US ๐Ÿ˜‚

Running is a very good strategy. In non-stand your ground states if you have the opportunity to run you have a legal obligation to. It means you aren't in immediate danger. In a stand your ground state you have the option to run. But if the person shooting isn't visible then sneaking around with a gun trying to find them is how a good-guy with a gun ends up dead like John Hurley.

Part of being a responsible gun owner is knowing when to run.

john hurley took the mass shooter's gun and was killed by the cops, him sneaking around was the part that lead to him killing the shooter

And getting killed. First rule of engagement is to survive.

[โ€“] match@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

very occasionally, acting heroically is worth dying for. but one major rule to surviving is to believe that the cops will act as bad as they possibly can

Are you a pirate that is just always prepared to celebrate your wife's death with a tasty noodle or rice dish?
