I might be wrong, but I haven't seen this discussed in any depth. So, in an attempt to restrict the topic somewhat, here goes...
Can/does carrying a weapon for the purpose of self defence possibly instill an over reliance on said weapon? At what point does it become a hindrance?
Allegedly, potentially violent "street" confrontations don't usually happen at range, it's up close and personal.
Is having a concealed weapon with associated time to deploy a disadvantage in none/few/some/many cases - i.e. does knowing you have that knife/gun buried somewhere about your person shift your concentration from 'instant defend' to 'once I get this out, then I can defend'?
