Your comparison between a handgun and a knife is just silly. To kill someone with a knife would require an insatiable will to carry out the act. To kill a person with a gun requires only that the bearer load, pop the safety, and fire. My kid could do all of that! It's pretty hard to accidently stab someone to death.
Furthermore, I also find it more than a little disturbing that you would choose to conceal a lethal weapon even if there were no threat. Why? The more you type, the more it seems to me that you have no desire for public saftey, but appear to have some deep-seeded insecurity through which you are compensated by the presence of a loaded pistol. Why should I ever trust someone who exhibits these qualities to make the determination of when it is ok to fire his weapon?
