i watch out around me at all times and many times i care my weapon. i don't expect my house to burn but i insure it, like i don't expect to need my weapon, but i have it. Sometimes areas that seem very safe go wrong, i once had a girl pull a weapn and fire 3 shots at her boyfriend across the trunk of my car as he drove away. This was a very "safe" parking lot. Be aware of what is going on, and the area you are in, do that and if you are carrying a weapon, you won't need to use it.
