Just like a spare tire to me. Never plan to need it.

Then why carry it?

Like keeping good tires
on my car, I avoid dangerous situations. But if I every have need for
either, they are both there for my convenience.

Did the car come without a spare tire?

Don't you carry a spare tire for you car? Or have you ever owned one?

I've owned cars, but they came with spare tires. I've never explicitly
loaded
a spare tire into a car, nor have I given spare tires much thought. I've
never had a flat tire.

Same with conceal carry. I never plan to use it, or put myself in harms way.
But just like a spare tire, if I every need it, it's very reassuring to know
I am qualified and licensed to have it.
