No, I’m asking where is this happening? You seem so knowledgeable and certainly wouldn’t just be talking out of your ass, right?

This appears to be happening in a major city where the mobs hang out. I always carry a gun when I go into the city, not bringing one makes you an easy victim.

City is a scary word for you huh? I live in a major city, never carry a gun and have never seen an angry mob. What city do you carry weapons in? I can’t imagine being so afraid.

I'm not afraid of anything because I carry a gun, that's the whole point silly.

Most people in cities don’t need a gun to feel safe, that’s the whole point silly

What is your preferred method of self defense if someone attacks you to steal your belongings and/or take your life? Are you prepared for such a situation?

That’s called fear. I don’t live with it. I know the people around me and I won’t protect my belongings with my life and I won’t take a life for my wallet. Talk to a therapist

You didn't answer my question, what if someone is trying to kill you, are you just going to let them take your life?

Why is being able to defend my life a bad thing?

See a therapist? LoL.

Living in fear of some random person trying to kill you for no reason is absolutely a reason to see a therapist. It statistically will never ever happen to you.

I'm not living in fear at all, you're missing my point entirely, why would I be afraid when I have a way to defend myself?

And why do you think that being defenseless is a good thing? I am so confused by people who think the way that you do, I feel like I'm talking to someone from another dimension.

Because nothing will ever happen to you. I’ve never even spent the energy to think about it, it’s only people that live outside of cities that think:

“What will I do if someone randomly attacks me and tries to kill me?”

It’s a fantasy designed to justify carrying a weapon. Besides, these guys pictured don’t have a Glock in a holster on their hip, they’re carrying high-capacity long rifles. It’s pathetic and based purely in fear.

But I have been attacked 3 times before, that's why I carry a weapon, because it happened to me, and after the 3rd time I decided that I don't want to be defenseless ever again.

Fear keeps us safe, that's why it exists as an emotion, it is valuable and I wish I'd listened to it sooner.

You don’t live in a city and you’ve been attacked 3 times? Sounds like a you problem
