My idea on the matter is that shouldn't money be put into crime prevention like police, and education and jobs instead of passing legislation that puts more guns on the street, no matter their purpose? I mean, if the risk of having your life put in danger goes down, then you don't really need weapons to protect yourself.

I can understand the self defence thing, but does this not encourage more people to carry weapons? Or at least legitimize that carrying of weapons?

One way to fight crime is to shoot it, but there are other more useful ways. And ways that are safer and benifit everyone.
