The surge has lessened somewhat, but sales are still strong, and CWP applications have risen by astronomical rates here in the U.S.

9/11 didn't do it for me. i think it was Katrina that prompted me to go ahead and get my first assault rifle. The reason? Armed thugs running around killing and raping people. Now we know what happens when it all goes to hell and a handbasket.
I also got a CWP, but to tell you the truth, I never carry anything. Only time I carry is when I am protecting my rifles - ie. transporting them, or heading out into the wilderness. Never know what kind of weirdos you might find out there. Other than that, the CWP just gives me more freedom, such as not having to go point A to point B when transporting a gun of some sort. Without it, you must be traveleing to or from your place of business/home or to from place where you are shooting/home.
