How many times more likely are you willing to make yourself to get shot just for some macho fantasy of “defending yourself”? P.S.—that makes you even more likely to get shot. Unless you walk around with the safety off, your hand on the trigger, 360º vision, and instantaneous reflexes, the attacker is always going to have the drop on you. Always.
That study did not deal with how some who carry do so as necessary. Career choices already selected them for higher risk. Posted on that earlier.
