Besides the legal jeopardy and gun-free zones, there are many other forces at work to dissuade pistol permit holders from carrying all the time: There are social forces of shame and embarrassment from those who feel guns are evil and sick. There are political forces and propaganda from political leaders, bureaucrats and the media. There are religious forces from some priests, ministers and rabbis, etc. who may feel strongly against "ordinary" people carrying guns, and preach against guns from the pulpit.
Just about everywhere I look; my senators, legislators, wok congressperson, officials, leaders and talking heads are telling me in the strongest terms not to carry. They can wear down even the most enthusiastic pistol carrying zealot. We each can rebel against the anti-gun hoplophobic world system only at a cost to our souls and threats to our livelihoods, unless we strengthen our resolve in the face of overwhelming odds to just do it anyway and be a rebel with a cause
