If only all solutions were this simple. Don't carry one.
Can , pretty much, call end thread, with this ^^. I totally agree, that if one feels, as the OP does, its highly recommended you DON'T carry a weapon, of any kind. Since one has already rolled over and submitted to a violent attack, as a mindset, what would be the point? There's no reason for a prey animal to have fangs and claws, a coyote will kill and eat it just as easy with as without that equipment.
Its the natural order of things. Where's there's predators, there needs to be a balancing number of prey, for them to survive. I can't see being part of that balancing number by choice, but, hey....takes all kinds. Somebody has to do it.. Personally, I'll keep my weapons. There's that whole freedom of choice thing again. Humans have that. The rest of the animals are stick with being one or the other, by lottery of birth. Sucks to be them....
I'm torn as to how to feel about humans who choose to be prey. They are either very brave, or barking nuts. but, I'll respect their choice, either way, and promise not to intervene, should they be singled out to be pulled down. Nature at work, ya know...
When confronted by someone that has a weapon or is more physically capable the chances of defending yourself are near zero, any chance better than zero is a win.
If you're not a trained professional and you managed to deter a gunman with a gun, it is merely blink luck.

Simple question, someone breaks into both our houses with a weapon. Who is it that has the better chance of defending themselves. You with your fists or me with my gun?
im going to end this thread with something that cannot be debated.
if someone wants to kill you, they will kill you. end of story. if presidents can be shot with guards with guns near them, you will get killed in your house if somebody decides that they want to kill you.

simple as that.
Yep. I agree. Be it a gun, knife, ball bat, your bare hands (yes you can kill someone with your bare hands) whatever.... The only myth being perpetrated here is the the myth that stricter gun laws will prevent criminals from getting them, or prevent criminals from committing violent crimes.
OP... thread fail!
