It's a mentality that is allowed to exist because it can be allowed to exist rather than what would be reasonable in any other time and place in history. TBH it's perfectly reasonable that people would be slow to adjust.

What about throughout history? Kings protecting their subjects, knights, city watch, all that? It's not new.

I'm betting I'd be too small fry for you to cough up the money for plane fare to Ireland?

if you just like guns, then that's a good reason to own a gun, but for defense it's not reliable
in the event of an assault present possibility that you just get shot with your own gun after getting an ass beating

Also you might get less sympathy in court: "He was carrying a gun, asking for trouble"?

You want gun protection.. get a full auto tricked out paintball gun and blast a motherfucker with 500 rounds in 10 seconds. You can keep the frozen ammo in your mini fridge's freezer with your ice cream sandwiches.

Now that sounds like fun!

I'd wager that the number of extremely responsible gun owners far outweighs the number of idiots with guns. You'd also be surprised at the large number of people you come across in your daily life that own a gun(s).
About a third of adult Americans own a gun.
Side note: Going to a range and shooting stuff is pretty damn fun!

Would it be correct to say (I have no stats of course so it's just a personal hunch) that a large percentage of gun owners don't carry? Leave it at home?
