Holy Christ how could you possibly miss the point so horribly.
I don't think carrying a gun makes you more likely to be shot. I think a bunch of retarded hillbillies carrying guns makes you more likely to be shot. I don't think everyone carrying a gun is an idiot. I think about 60% of the general population are idiots, and with 300,000,000 American citizens -- 50% of which own a firearm -- that means a lot of fucking morons with guns. Don't fret. There are a lot of fucking morons without guns, too. Those ones are less likely to shoot me.
Also, what makes you think I choose not to carry? Because I acknowledge that owning a gun likely wouldn't mean dick if some psycho decided to burst into a movie, toss tear gas, and start shooting people with an AR-15? Because I'm not pro-gun? Neither of those things mean I don't own a gun and know how to use it. You are clearly pro-gun. Do you typically have a loaded firearm on your person when you go to the movies? How about at work? Do you typically have one on you when you go into a coffee shop? If the answer is no, then you'd be as fucked as everyone else in the past 3 spree shootings in the US.
In America, it makes sense to own a gun for personal protection. But it's not going to save you in the majority of random shootings. And if I had to give up my gun to get guns out of the hands of a few million irresponsible dimwits and/or lunatics likely to shoot someone? That's a great trade, as far as I'm concerned.

If that is not what you meant, then perhaps you should try to convey that information in a way that it does not state what you do not mean.
I also carry every where at all times. I choose not to visit places where I can't carry and the only places I visit that I don't carry are places that it isn't required (military bases, etc.)
You giving up your gun/s will never get the guns out of hands of other people. If you think this is even possible, you're delusional.
