Noone "wins" an argument about opinions. Is that what you think you're doing by arguing that Catrike shouldn't be carrying a gun despite a Constitutional Amendment giving him the right to do so? Your opinion appears to be counter to the Constitution and you believe that you're winning something? Murder rates tend to be lowest in areas with the most highly rural populations so zsparate people and you don't have violent confrontations. Gun laws make little to no diffrence.

 I'm just pointing out that almost all people who carry guns do so because they are afraid. In nearly all cases, they are afraid of things that never happen. That's phobia.
 And I'm aware I'm violating my resolution to stop responding to, um, a certain type of person. I'll try to do better.
 

I post enough current successful defensive use videos to show that risks are real (although situationally more or less) and that preparation and training may well be dispositive /in extremis/.
Fear? OK, perhaps. Rational risk assessment is another equally valid term.
And yes there are differences between Poland OH and North Lawndale Chicago. That falls under rational risk assessment.
