37. The "take one for the team" strategy.
Edited on Fri Nov-11-11 01:49 PM by Straw Man
People other than police and police equivalents carry firearms in public in their own interest and no one else's. There are no benefits to the public at all, let alone benefits that outweigh the risks.

I see that you conveniently exclude these people from "the public." So for you the individual right of self-defense carries no weight at all? The individual is expendable if his/her defense entails any risk whatsoever to the general public?
