Thus if you don't even consider those other threats, but you always carry a gun, I can suggest that this particular sort of a threat seriously overweights all others in your living/working area.
Just a simple logic.  |
why does it bother you that some people carry guns? does it bother you when people use other equipment to protect themselves like seat belts? why do some people wear helmets while others don't? it's a choice, whether the threat is real or not. i'd rather have a gun and never need it than need it and not have it.
have you ever heard the expression "it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6". it's not like people are carrying a howitzer around with them. i also carry a can of fix-a-flat and a first aid kit in my truck but i have never used either one so i guess i'm just cluttering up my truck. i've never used my home fire extinguisher either so i'm thinking about getting rid of that to. if i need any of those things in the future i'll just go buy them.
