104. Statistics don't really help if you're the exception to some rule. |

Guns don't just "go off" accidentally. Somebody screws up. I've carried a gun for 30 + years. I've used it twice and have had zero accidents and didn't kill anybody.
Statistics are irrelevant to me in this matter. I carry a gun because I perceive that I need one based on abilities I possess amd also based on my assessment of the environment in which I live. I've made a decision to be able to fight back when I am threatened. I have not only armed myself, but have also trained extensively with my weapon. I have also studied empty hand martial arts and the use of a cane and a knife defensively.
I also assiduously avoid confrontations or even altercations with anyone and I work hard to be aware of my environment and the potential bad actors within it.
