They also have a "King of your Castle" law where you can legally shoot and kill an armed and dangerous intruder, where in Canada, you can and will be prosecuted because you "didn't let them take your stuff and go."
Just because there are concealed carry laws doesn't mean everyone carries their gun everyday. Concealed carry in the US is used primarily (from what I am told) to make sure people can transport their guns without fear of police.
