I don't carry unless I'm going out in the woods to shoot tin cans or whatever. Where I live, in VT, where it's perfectly legal, there's no need. Every single murder is a front page headline. In the cities, where there is a need, they won't let you.

Going to Montana for Xmas, so I probably should - it's expected of one there - but trying to get it on the plane and not get into trouble would be too chancy, so I won't.
