But... really? You think the mall is basically unsafe? You really think there's ANY part of ANY town where you're more likely to be mugged than not to be mugged?
You're aware this is based on anecdotal interpretation of your own, and not borne out by actual crime statistics, right?
I mean, go ahead--if you're trained and safe with your weapon, it's no skin off my back if you're packing 24/7. You bought the piece, you got the license, so God bless. But I hate that you have to live with that cloud of paranoia over your head all the time.

Hmm, I'd consider it the same as remaining vigilant of your surroundings. Some places may be safe--then while you're getting in to your car in the parking lot, some idiot tries to take your car and your life.
:shrug:
Personally, since I spent the $137 for the license and $1,978 for the target practice and piece, I'm going to carry whenever I can, where I can. (Yay FL!)
