Protection and safety aren't necessarily the same thing. You carry a gun hoping to never have to use it or put anyone in harm's way. Thing is, CCWs are around to be a deterrent and prevent crime. The idea being, a criminal might think twice before committing a crime because that person could be packing. Does that work? No, not enough people carry, but that was the idea.
