Me too. But where do you live that you have that kind of choice?
As far as I can tell, the real world contains millions of good folks,
millions of cowards, fools, and genuinely evil people, and also millions
of guns, which are distributed pretty much randomly among all the
different kinds of people (except Canadians, of course).

And, in my humble opinion, adding more guns won't change the rules,
or give any of us less to worry about.

I cannot speak for the rest of the world, but I worry less about being
in a rough neighborhood, armed and confident, than I would if I were
unarmed. And I have to be in those rough neighborhoods after dark in
many cases. And in fact..in about 30 yrs..being armed DID save my bacon
(5) times, and in no case was I forced to fire. The Bad Guys decided
that descretion was the better part of valor, and ended their
aggression.

Kirk, you do what your consiense dictates, and I shall do as my life
experiences and consience dictates. I will never force you to go armed.
Just do not force me to go unarmed. For there are those for whom
negotiation without strength, is viewed as submission and helplessness,
those whom try to negotiate, do so as prey. and for those, I will
continue to go armed.
