In reply to the discussion: Choose your chief reason for advocating against firearm carry [View all]tridim
(45,358 posts)20. IMO irrational paranoia should be a disqualifying criteria for CC.
My dad became paranoid after he started carrying. His friends have too.
I think I know why... It's because he is now constantly thinking about the simple to use, deadly weapon on his hip and probably thinking about who in his world he might shoot and for what reasons. I really don't think he would shoot anyone, but who knows now?
That kind of stuff can totally screw up a formerly rational brain.

OP
"I have no issue" suggests that it's about one's position on other's rights to carry.

#3, but it's not chance. It has happened with all the gun nuts I know personally.

I'm saying all the people I know with CC permits now think that the world is out to get them.

You "feel" a firearm is less likely to be stolen, lost, or taken from a CCW holder?
