Of course it's situational and personal.

It was because of the "situational" part that I asked about defensive
use of guns required by old guys walking around their residential
neighborhoods at 4 AM. My bet that it's zero in our tricycle rider's

It might be fun to think of examples; for example, what if a guy was

And, by the way, Florida has fewer firearm moralities then Florida :-)

 Not by much, quite close 14 vs 15.6 both mid pack considering the rate
varies from 3.1 to 29.6. Don’t know American well enough to know if the map
and it’s quite variable rate to know how or why it is.
 Doesn’t seem to match to populations or at least big cities America only
two comparable to London ie Newyork and the Bay Area.
 Florida is about the same population as all 3, so population isn’t the
cause.

It's complex.
Illinois has relatively high firearms ownership rate outside the metro areas with a remarkably low firearm crime rate. But toss in the 'problem areas' of Chicago, Rockford, East St Louis etc and the averages* are pathetic.
See also Missouri vs crime-infested St Louis area, and others.
* And misleading as well since 'officially' firearms are virtually banned in Chicago, among the most restrictive regimes in the country. And yet personal armament is ubiquitous and I would argue reasonable if not necessary.
