@Bhp91126 I think some of the points you make are good, particularly about depression. Certainly something to think about in addition to all the other factors.
I think it is very unwise for someone to keep a firearm so they can put themselves in dangerous situations intentionally, like going into a bad part of town you would normally avoid. Or acting all pompous like you're the big guy in town. For instance if someone gets in an argument with me and wants to get in a fist fight with me and starts swinging, you can't pull your gun on that person, you would be in a lot of trouble in that case.
When it comes to NC. If you drink alcohol it nullifies your conceal carry permit and can get in a lot of trouble. There's also laws specifically dealing with having a firearm at places where alcohol is served... I'll have to double check but I don't think you're allowed to have a concealed firearm in a bar but I might be wrong, definitely cannot consume alcohol because I'm pretty sure that is a misdemeanor at the least. I think a lot of states have laws concerning firearms and alcohol. I did hear that Montana makes it illegal period to be in possession of a gun in a bar, CCW or not.
For me, it's strictly for home/self-defense. As for assault weapons, it is sort of a buzzword at times. At the same time there should be limits on what people should be able to get a hold of. Perhaps a tiered permit? I don't know, but I am learning more about all this stuff.
