Yeah, I don’t have an objection to people owning guns and even concealed carry under some circumstances, but they really aren’t the answer to crime, in general.
Someone commented to me the other day that one problem with the increase in the number of people with guns is that it makes people feel that the person they are confronting is likely to have a gun, which in turn makes them quicker on the trigger. An armed society isn’t a polite society, it’s one where the quickest draw survives.
