So your "default" is to carry a gun. Well, OK.Well, I carry at home and there is no threats here and I’m comfortable, since we live in the country. I carry out of habit more than anything.
I worked for 30 years in a government building, in the District of Columbia. Carrying a gun there was simply out of the question. So my "default" has been not to carry a gun.
So I guess people on both sides of this issue work on inertia.
The mantra is "better to have, and not need, rather than to need, and not have." So you prepare for the worst-case scenario. No matter how remote that might be.
Let me ask a question. There's a small chance that a toxic chlorine gas cloud could be released in a train wreck or other industrial accident. Does that mean that it's wise to carry a gas mask wherever you go? Even if carrying a gas mask becomes second nature? Even if people look at you like you're nuts?
