In my personal opinion it is not morally superior do die while being
robbed. YMMV.

A parallel statement that might be made by other people about spiders,

a gun to ride on a quiet bike path where young mothers push kids in
strollers is paranoid. And if I lived somewhere where I needed a gun to
fend off armed robbers, I'd move.

Well... Ohio is only 14 from the top of the list in Robbery Rate

a gun to fend off armed robbers"?
