    See, I don’t buy this argument, because you are far more likely to die from a head injury tripping on the sidewalk or in a car accident than in any situation where a gun might help you. In fact, statistically having a gun makes it more likely that you will die from a gunshot. But I’m guessing you don’t wear a helmet everywhere.

    Like just say it makes you feel powerful. Everyone already assumes it, so just own it.

    To be clear, I am far from anti gun. But I do roll my eyes at people who feel like they can’t do anything without a gun in reach at all times. It’s just not a rational response to any real threat profile.
