Nothing wrong with taking responsibility for your own safety.

Your brief and unsophisticated comment will unleash a firestorm on this thread.
You're pretty certain of yourself. I'd hate to be in a fix where I wanted a gun and didn't have one. I'd also hate to have to babysit a pistol 24/7 for years and years and never have a need for it.

It's not stretch to conclude that for at least some people who carry a gun at all times, it becomes a solution in search of a problem.

A retired San Jose Fire Captain got himself into some serious grief when he shot an fleeing shoplifting suspect in a parking lot. I forget how many years he was sentenced to, but when you're 65 plus, any years in jail is not good.
