I carry to give myself the best chance of protecting my family and myself in the event of an attack. I hope to never need to use my carry weapon but If I do I want to be prepared the best I can.
And as someone mentioned a few posts above "People are crazy." I initially started to carry when some threats were made by an individual I worked with who was in the process of getting fired. Unfortunately I had to provide some information to management that was used as documentation to fire him. He made some vague threats against myself and a couple of others. Thankfully he never followed through and was all talk. That situation along with current events (terrorism, home invasions etc) really made me think about the safety of my family and myself. I feel a lot better knowing I'm prepared for such events.
