The point, I imagine, was to demonstrate that exercising the right to
keep and bear arms is a deterrent to crime; visibly exercising it is an

of people around, but most of them generally aren't totally stupid, and
know better than to attack someone who is obviously armed.

Possibly...

One might also need to weigh the wisdom of advertising the fact that you
own
guns to criminals, since it's one of their favorite things to steal.

I can see from your posts that you know squadoosh about guns, tactics, laws,
or CCF regs.

If one is properly trained, they first use verbal tactics, flight, retreat,
physical tactics (such as throwing their money into the air and running),
letting themselves get thumped, and other things. When the bad guy first
sees a gun that a properly trained person is holding, the shot(s) will
follow within one second.
