I lived in Alaska during the era when everyone and his dog Bob was packing.
People were regularly shot in bars.
I watched a guy shoot himself in the side once while demonstrating how he was shot in the side during a scuffle earlier in the day. In the same bar, no less. Police were not called either time.
Even though everyone knew that at least a few patrons, if not all of them, were armed, people still pulled out guns to settle disputes or just to prove they were tough enough.
I no longer live in Alaska, so I don't know if the use of guns has declined, but I've been in union meetings where a disagreement will arise and the next thing you hear is the clanging of guns against the metal folding chairs as everyone hauls out their weapon of choice.
Shortly after we moved to North Carolina, someone was shot at a gun show.
Is that really the world we want to live in?
Then you should arm yourself, and protect yourself from a bad guy with a gun
