Sorry for the exclaimative subject, but I found a perfect way of driving home the point of why a person should carry, more specifically, GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered) people.
The season premiere of Queer as Folk, one of Showtime's original series. Well, the episode had a situation at the very end of it where 3 or 4 toughs single out a gay man who was shopping at night and proceed the beat the crap out of him (or kill him, I'm not sure, I haven't seen the next episode). I had happened to watch the show with fence sitter room mate, not neccesarily anti-gun, but didn't understand why I carried with my WA CPL and have/will have permits from as many states as possible. I basically stated this after he was on the ground and the batterers had left...
"THAT IS THE REASON WHY I CARRY!!"
Drove home the point. He's now interested in getting a WA CPL.
The funny thing is, Pittsburgh, PA is where QAF takes place. I had to shake my head at this scene because it is so easy to get a permit in PA, and cheap too, 19 dollars. I told my roomie this and he basically stated that for so cheap, it was dumb for him not to get a PA LTC and carry on a regular basis.
I carried at Seattle Pride for that reason, you never know if some jackass is going to give you problems downtown or trouble come looking for you.
