					<description><![CDATA[Well, being pedantic (as I usually am) anyone who &quot;fears&quot; or dislikes the idea of an individual, inherent right of self-defense, and the RKBA to assist in exercising that right, simply values &quot;the collective&quot; more than the individuals who make up the collective.  The whole is not (and cannot be) greater than the sum of its parts.  Likewise, my existential right to self-defense outweighs your &quot;right&quot; to feel comfortable.  While there are tactical reasons why open carry might be superior to concealed carry (certainly in some situations), concealed carry is the practical answer in today&#039;s world - too many GFWs around who freak the eff out if they see someone carrying openly, and a call to the local gendarmerie is almost certain, and even if the responding cops know their ass from their elbow, it&#039;s STILL a hassle to deal with.

So, basically, by definition, unless you are an experienced LEO or firearms tactics instructor, you have NO FRICKIN&#039; IDEA whether I am carrying or not . . . so WTF are you &quot;uncomfortable&quot; about???  The whole &quot;let the police handle it&quot; mindset simply makes no sense - we all know the saying &quot;When seconds count, the police are only minutes away&quot; is trite, but true.  When I was living in the LA area, in a bougie, &quot;upper class&quot;, gated community, with 24 hour patrols from uniformed, sworn LEOs, we STILL had an average response time that was never less than 5 minutes.  For most real emergencies, the only thing that responding LEOs do is . . . clean up the mess, and bag and tag the bodies.]]></description>
