Let's not talk at this level. Come on man. Guns are not thinking beings. It requires active use to commit crimes.

And again I'll reiterate that concealed carriers commit crimes at a lower rate than even law enforcement. They account for way less than 1% of crimes nationally.

It's a risk because we don't know what the user is going to do with it.

This is based on emotion.

You may be perfectly fine but what about the next guy with a concealed gun?

Or if an incident does occur, how does a security guard or police differentiate between you and a person trying to harm someone?

So the distinction you're making here is whether or not a person is "qualified." So if a person is a security guard, that makes that individual more upstanding and responsible than an armed citizen? What about the two former soldiers who killed law enforcement officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge? Did their qualifications prevent them from committing murder?

And most self defense incidents will not have a security guard or law enforcement officer present since they don't prevent crime and generally come after the fact. The only person who is responsible for my own safety is me.

If I somehow got into a situation where I was wrongfully shot by police or security for having my concealed handgun out, that is a risk I'm willing to take.

Please try to be more objective in this discussion. Using of facts is highly encouraged.
