And what was the risk that you and your family would "be stabbed to death" to start with? Pretty low. Like going to the Neck-car race and being struck my lightning low....like leaving your home and being swallowed by a sinkhole low.

Is some Rambo want to be with a gun attempting to play the hero while I'm at the movies a risk I want to take? Probably not.

That's an interesting opinion....misguided....but interesting. I'd be curious to see what data you culled to support that statement. (And if it was the tugged out of your own ass type data, keep it. )

Also, if you'd like to be able to "miss in a chaotic situation....and be even more likely to pull the trigger"....why don't you go earn a badge and have at it?

Food for thought.
