I prefer no one be carrying a gun. At home for protection is one thing, walking around the squares or a rec center is something else.

Mistakes happen, even well-intentioned mistakes. I don't want to be a victim of one of those mistakes.

Based on the posts of this thread, I am far less likely to encounter a prowling criminal than a gun-carrying Villager.
