You know there is a fallacy in the argument that you carry because there is always a cop or any other snide remark, please remember that. It's basing that you carry your gun in order to protect yourself, because there is no cop. Why is this a fallacy? Because it makes the Right to Bear Arms not about the RIGHT, but instead your personal feelings, or personal desire to defend yourself or even worse, your fear that a police officer wont protect you.
If we are to believe that 2A gives us a right, under the Constitution of the United States, it has nothing to do with our personal feelings, any more than the BradyFolks fear of guns has to do with it.
I'm going to say this over and over until I turn blue. While there are reasons to often point when guns save lives, that they aren't "as bad" as the media makes them, the real reason that we have a RIGHT to bear arms, is because... well.. we have a RIGHT to bear arms. The founders of the US Constitution saw that it was important that the PEOPLE of the United States of American be able to bear weapons for a variety of reasons and it was so important that it was the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
