I work on a federal reservation and can't carry everyday (which makes me angry, but is another subject), so maybe I don't carry enough to get so comfortable with the fact that I have one with me.
I'm aware of all the places that I can't go and the things that I cannot do on a daily basis because I choose to carry. But as she points out in the video, there are quite a few people who have forgotten. It is my belief that they are more often prosecuted, like the Philadelphia woman who took her handgun over into New Jesery (she was finally pardoned for it) than the real criminals. New Jersey crime is rampant and Camden and Newark are cesspools of handgun violence that is rarely prosecuted. Her's was an honest mistake. I'm glad that she turned it into a positive outcome for others who make the mistake, too.I've heard her speak and think that she is an excellent choice in her political race.
