Debating You Don't Need To Carry A Gun Outside Your Home

About this video

Colion debates the need for carrying firearms outside the home, responding to a guest who questions why people need guns in public. Colion argues that defensive gun uses are significantly underreported by mainstream media and cites statistics he attributes to both pro-gun and gun-control groups showing hundreds of thousands to millions of defensive gun uses annually. He explains that people open carry or concealed carry because most time is spent outside the home where threats can occur, and he pushes back against the idea that eliminating all guns would solve the underlying safety concerns.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that defensive gun uses receive far less media coverage than criminal gun uses, creating a skewed public perception of how often firearms are used for self-protection.
• According to Colion, even gun control advocacy groups estimate at least 600,000 defensive gun uses occur annually in the U.S., far exceeding the approximately 40,000 annual gun deaths he cites.
• Colion contends that people carry firearms outside the home because most of life occurs in public spaces where threats can emerge, and carrying represents a low-cost insurance policy for personal safety.
• Colion identifies the core disagreement in gun policy debates as stemming from the ultimate goal of complete firearms elimination versus regulated access and carry rights.
