I love the way some people are saying about "oh you wouldn't drive without a spare tire" or "you don't go hiking without a flare" etc.
No you probably don't do those things unless you're in the "that won't happen to me" mindset.
But when you talk about guns, the main reason people carry pistols in the USA has to be because they are protecting themselves from potential handgun or other weapons owners that could become a very true threat, at that point I totally agree with people owning handguns.
But what happens when handguns are 100% illegal? and they cannot be carried? I'm guessing a lot less people get killed and a lot less people get injured.
Point being the majority of countries with much stricter rules have much lower murder rates. Just check the figures.
I don't think any normal person should ever feel the need to even carry a weapon around with them but I can see why people in certain countries or even as deep as square miles do.
And on the subject of guns themselves I think many of them are works of art and an interesting piece of engineering but I would never promote everyone carrying a gun with them everywhere they go because it wouldn't be long before the next weapon got developed to give the upper edge over the gun. Don't even think I'm being naive because that is where that road goes. Someone who wants to protect themselves from guns will eventually find a preventative or pre-emptive measure that will hurt gun owners.
