        I suspect that when there is a social danger around, you’ll attempt to have people with guns dispatched to your location. You’ll ask for more guns around you, and won’t feel better about the situation until those guns arrive.

        I trust the average passerby more than I trust the police. The average passerby has no mandate to interfere with another average passerby, and retains their humanity and sociability. That average passerby is more interested in going about their day than they are in hassling someone.

        I know that I am safer when you carry a gun.
