Yes because making concealed carry legal isn’t going to increase illegal shootings at all. 🙄
It’s literally common sense. Move to Texas if you wanna live in a crimeless, gun filled utopia

You really want to live in a society where anyone can hold lethal force at any time? What if you piss somebody off and they’re having a bad day? Look up road rage shootings by state. You really want to get lit up for cutting somebody off?

Because it’s still gonna happen anyway, the threat of violence doesn’t prevent crime. In concealed carry states, crime still exists at similar rates to places without concealed carry. And also like….. it’s just a petty theft. Is property more important than life?

I’m glad there isn’t concealed carry, because if there was, someone may have died in this situation. Everyone walked away alive. I’d rather permit the injustice of a phone being stolen than someone, especially a kid, be shot dead

I can see how my wording could make it seem like I think petty theft is tolerable. When I said “just a petty theft”, I was simply comparing it to lethal force, in terms of severity. We agree - we should not tolerate petty theft
