Nope....you don't get it.
I carry a gun to stop those that may want to harm me, or my family. It is simply one tool among many that I may use if necessary to defend my life. It is certainly not the only tool, nor typically the first tool I would use in every situation, but I am prepared to use it if necessary. Those tools include my brain, my size, my cell phone, my keys, and various items that the surrounding area happens to make available.
I don't carry a gun because it makes me feel powerful, as a matter of fact, I tend to avoid confrontations on the street more than I did prior to being licensed to carry.
