Well, I'm not a genius. But I think you're missing the point here:

A - You should probably trust your friends with guns. If you don't, they're probably not real friends. Ex: Good friends know to lock up their sidearm when they start drinking. They also know that a baby shower doesn't warrant a Glock 19 on their hip. It can stay in the car under the floormat.
B - If a guy with a visible gun is on your property and acting a fool and making his piece an issue, doesn't it matter whether or not he has a piece of paper in his wallet with a CCW number on it, does it? And you can yell at a visibly armed stranger all you want, but it'd be better to have a gun.

A concealed carry permit is a piece of paper with a number on it. It doesn't attempt to prevent crime, it simply attempts to keep track of someone exercising their rights. I suppose I could change the title to "Open Carry," but open carry is for suburban retards, ranch hands and hikers.

I think a lot of this stems from the fear of guns. Should I inform the owner of a house that I carry a folding knife as well or isn't that scary enough? If you've ever had the pleasure of sparring with a seasoned knife fighter, you'd be aware of how quickly someone can fuck you up with a Buck. I got my ass absolutely owned by an gray beard sportin' old man with a rubber knife. He would have killed me a dozen times in about ten seconds.

So I don't worry about knives. Or guns. I worry about people.
