5. I'm no sheepdog, I'm the shepherd.

Collectively, we CCW carriers are actually a herd immunity mechanism. while we may not be sheepdogs, we aren't your ordinary run of the mill sheep either. so, while our motives tend to be quite selfish, our existence within the sheep population makes life difficult for the wolves. It's very similar to vaccinations whereby not all but a portion of a given poulation is vaccinated against a particular pathogen. This "herd immunity" greatly reduces the influence that the pathogen has over the population. IOW, it may be able to infect a few sheep here or there but it is unable to completely ravage the population.
