A couple of years ago, when I had my Utah CCW app notarized at a local shop, the woman behind the counter asked, "Why do you need a concealed weapons permit?" Last week I took a polygraph exam and the witch doctor--I mean, polygrapher--also asked why I had applied for a CCW in Utah.
My answers were pretty weak (I suppose I should have expected, and been prepared, just in case--Verbal Condition Orange?). It's one thing to support a position (and even carry in support of said position), but when asked WHY, and put on the spot, I have a tough time answering "in 25 words or less." ("Please give me your address and I'll mail you a comprehensive essay...")
Just wondering what short, pithy answer(s) you might give when asked why you have (or "need") a CCW.
