I find your comparing professional armed bodyguards to gun nuts like sirs to be ridiculous. An assassin can easily identify an armed bodyguard and therefore would refrain from shooting the mayor.

sirs strolling around is just another guy, no deterrent to anyone unless he pulls out his Trusty Roscoe, in which case is is almosrt as likely to be considered a second assassin as a protector.

I imagine that I do indeed spend most of my time in gun free zones, or better yet, gun nut-free zones. Meaning zones free from gun nuts, not zones in which the guns are nutless.

when you get in troubble , do you dial 911 to end the gun free nature of your space


question mark is not working either

==============================================
I have never gotten in "troubble", but I would call 911, it is the logical thing to do. I am sure as hell not going to wait around for some gun nut like sirs to screw things up and shoot himself in the foot.

Gun nuts serve no purpose. I have no use for them.

In 70 years I have never been threatened with a gun.

I bet you haven't, either.

Of course, that wasn't the point now, was it.  But cudos on the deflection effort      ::)

You might as well advocate that everyone run around carrying elephant guns to protect themselves from charging rogue elephants, or harpoons to prepare to defend themselves against Moby Dick.

Of course its not the point.  The point is calling 911, IF a situation ever does come about with someone waving a gun around, and you "getting into trouble".  That IS what you said you'd do. 

This might be some incredible revelation, but unless you're a gang member or in an active military zone, MOST folks never think they're going to run into someone with a gun.  Myself included.  It's just nice to know that IF that were to happen, I have more than waiting perhaps 10+minutes, to defend me and my loved ones

So, no, a simple concealed firearm, with the person having taken safety classes in their use, will do just fine.

In 70 years I have never been threatened with a gun.

in several decades I have never had my house burn down.....so why have insurance?

in several decades I've never called a 9-1-1 ambulance...so why have them?

in several decades I've never needed a life jacket in my boat...so whats the need?

in several decades I've never needed an airbag in my car....so why have one?

in several decades I've never needed a smoke alarm...so why have one at home?

True, crime is extremely unlikely in this country .
It would save a lot of money to fire all those policemen  too.

Or, if  crime was easier to accoplish safely,it might become more common.

Gun nuts and vigilantes are not going to lower the crime rate.
