They are making it so annoying to carry these days. If you defend yourself you will still probably have to spend tons of money for defense. Also in my state they make renewing and getting your CCW a super pain. It takes months are you have to take a 16 hr class plus applications. It makes me want to move down South.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hi Pandora,
Back in the day a man could carry a hand gun in this country...gradually,by stealth they have erode our right to possess Firearms,things are so bad that all my Guns were confiscated three years ago and I am a landowner with genuine need...Don't let that happen to your Nation.

Trying not to. Most people just don't get it. ANY politician or governing powers on ANY side of the fence stands to gain from disarming citizens. And they'll be the only ones who gain from it and everyone else will lose. Nearly overnight.
To OP: If you're not keen on every state's laws, start becoming a regular pursuer of knowledge in that area. There are several northern states that have better gun laws and legislation than their southern counterparts. There are some southern states with HORRIBLE legislation. Examples are Montana Vs California and Vermont VS Virginia. Although you're pretty fair in stating that overall the southern states boast friendlier experiences for a carrying citizen.
HB and SB in your state are on the states website. ALSO, you would be wise to look up the laws in all neighboring states. Like it or not, that will have an effect on things as well. (EDIT*** SB refers to Senate Bill and HB House Bill. We use 'HB' on SS for something entirely different, although I must say, my model .586 is a HB9!)
My major rant on carry or this topic in general is the misplaced assumption that gun nuts or just average gun owners are dumb and uneducated. You actually need to be MORE knowledgeable than others. Crossing the state line with anything I have other than bolt action or a revolver means I'm now a felon. And there's no "Oops I didn't know" leniency.

C02 projectile shooter when at higher power is very effective. In most locations its legally a different model, yet used properly can stop pretty much anyone. Pepper shots sound silly, but also gets the job done. Pepper followed by a rubber ball at 40+ Joeles is effective. Head shot can still be fatal.
Think gun that does not exactly match the legal definition.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
