1. Um ... this comes across as power-hungry and paranoid.
Let me say upfront that I own several guns. I rarely come into the gungeon because, well, I don't like shouting matches. And while I'm a-ok with CCW, this list will only reinforce the feelings of the antis, not abate them.

For example:
"a harasser who has picked you as his victim and knows you carry a gun can create a situation where there are no other witnesses present, and then make the false claim that you threatened him with the weapon. This is a very serious felony called Aggravated Assault. It is his word against yours. The fact that you are indeed carrying the gun he describes you pointing at him can make his lie more believable than your truth, to the ears of judge and jury."


Has this ever happened? Not to my knowledge. If this is the writer's view of what anti-gun folks are like, then what are anti-gun folks to think when they read this?
