I think most of you could handle not carrying into most public places. Heck, I don't care if you keep a reasonable gun nearby if you are in remote areas. But, come on, the odds are so small that you will encounter a problem in most public areas that it's not worth the impact on society.

I don't have a real problem with someone temporarily carrying in the case of the stalker. Plus, most women aren't carrying in preparation for a cowboy moment, for intimidation, some macho thing, as an equalizer, or anything like that. Shoot, if a stalker were after you, I'd issue a temporary permit to you to protect yourself.
