I'd just like to ask him whose job he thinks it is to protect his children, or anyone's children for that matter. I'd probably end up shaking my head in disbelief when he said something along the lines of "the government" or "the police" and not even bother pointing out the federal court ruling a few years ago in which the judges opined that police officers are not duty bound to protect individual citizens. Hell, even my wife carries, and as soon as my son is born she'll likely start open carrying. Except at work, she has one of them gubmint jobs that, although it can be dangerous, they don't allow people to protect themselves. I tell her to keep it in her giant purse and never tell anyone unless she has to use it, and just deal with the consequences later.
