I do live in a different country ( Canada ) and here I never saw someone who carry a gun/knife or whatever "weapon" for "protection". I just don't understand why I should carry one..

No one is forcing you to.

I know, but I didn't realize until now that is was that normal/common to carry a gun in the USA.

It really depends on the state. Some states are very strict and some aren't. Here in Florida it is very easy to get a concealed weapons permit.

I would guess that the vast majority of people in the US don't carry a gun. This forum doesn't represnet much of the US population at all.

Hey Bobby, when I was in the Army I carried the M16, and the M203 Grenade Launcher. That was some serious firepower!!!

I carry a baby glock 40 cal. When people ask me why I carry a gun I tell them because I can't carry a cop

It is definitely not the norm for people to carry guns, I would say less than 10% of the civilian population that own a gun(s) carry one on a regular basis.

Regarding the many people here that do, maybe it has something to do with really loving your car and the constant paranoia that someone is going to try to hurt it or take it from you?

How the h3ll is any of that legal??

I wish you could carry in MD. I really dont understand why you can in some states but not others. Not like criminals are going to go out and get permits anyway. Seems to me it a way for the average Joe to protect himself from the "packing" criminals. Im sure it would make those goofs thing twice before they car jack someone!
