Do law-abiding citizens need to carry concealed weapons?
Tom Jones: The need in the community for individuals to arm themselves, I believe that’s quite frightening. When you try to move a community forward, when you try to give a feeling of a secure environment … that’s quite frightening. Christo Lassiter: My reaction is that … citizens have a right to carry arms, and therefore that sort of supersedes the question of do they have a need. Mr. Klein: Certainly some people have a need. They’re in dangerous situations. Would you have a jewelry salesman that is carrying $10,000 worth of jewelry on him in his briefcase in his car, would you expect him to be out there in public and no means of protecting himself? I don’t think so. I think that’s a problem. Same thing with people like me in my profession, private investigators. I’ve been in more than one situation where I’ve had to use a gun to protect my life, and I don’t think I’d be here today if I had not had a gun on me on those occasions. Mr. Lassiter: What do you mean by using a gun? Bran
