It's not for everyone but for those who choose to do so we have the right. Most people choose not too. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
There is something wrong with it. I don't know you. How do I know you aren't a criminal? I'm sorry like it or not, you pack a gun in public, you're a poonachie. Plain and simple.
My parents lock their door, even though they live in a neighborhood that is basically 100 percent crime free. Are they lunatics or cowards?
I would never carry a gun because it's not my thing, but generally the sort of people you are arguing against are the sort of people that are not really a risk to you. They are probably a risk to themselves, but that isn't your problem.
You just made my point. Pick up any paper and you will find people doing stupid shit every day. You Have to search Google to find any heroes.
Crazy people don't care. They expect to die doing this. I understand what you are suggesting, but I think the lives saved in the few unlikely instances of someone actually being in the right place at the right time to do anything are exceeding small versus the lives lost by introducing guns to churches and schools that don't want them and don't need them. Untrained people with Die Hard fantasies will start banging away at the wrong people or without thinking about stray bullets. Like the woman who saw a suspected thief run out of Wal-Mart and emptied her gun onto his car. There will be more suicides. There will be a lot of accidental discharges.
You asked for links. The point is that most of the shootings occur in seedy areas over drugs. Most of those involved have criminal records and can't legally possess firearms. But they have them anyway.
Neither. Locking a door is simply caution. If they sleep with a loaded gun under their pillows, they are paranoid.
