It's scary to hear that you carry such a weapon. How about getting good car insurance over a concealed weapon permit? I hear about the second amendment all the time but fuck, It seems incredibly illogical and dangerous to carry a pistol with you, and if you don't have the guts to use it if the situation to weild it came up, your chances are dying are significant.

Oh, God. Do you really think I've been carrying this gun around all these years without knowing how to use it? I grew up around guns and can handle a pistol with a fair amount of confidence.
My first reaction when I was robbed was to cooperate. I don't like the idea of shooting someone over $32 and a lipstick. That's what was in my pocket, so that's what I gave him. Furthermore, then entire ordeal was over in about 15 seconds. That was hardly enough time to me to pull out a gun and go all Hollywood heroine.
I have good car insurance and my car locks automatically when I'm driving it. I'm not an idiot. Like I said, I have a toddler with me most of the time. If someone tried to take my car while my son was in the backseat and was unwilling to let me get him out of the car, then that person would have to shoot me. That's just how it is when you're a mom. I would try to do every I could to keep things from going that far... I mean, I'd probably stomp the gas and slam into the car in front of me or run a red light before I'd point an unloaded gun at a carjacker, but I'd do it if I had to. If I was alone, then of course I'd let them take the car. It's not about the car.
