With all due respect momesu, I think that you are being a bit naive. If you have to be afraid of something be afraid of people and what they do to other people. A firearm by itself can not hurt anyone. In the hands of a bad person they will kill or wound. In the hands of a good person only the bad person needs to worry.
For example, I lived in Boca Raton for a few years. The newspaper there carried a warning that there was a group of young men in a black car that would wait in the parking lot of some expensive department store till they spotted any woman wearing lots of jewelry and one man would get out of the car and just shoot her, then he would take her purse and all of her jewelry and get back into the car and take off. To the best of my memory several women were killed and several more severely wounded until one woman saw what was going to happen to her and shot the guy before he could shoot her. He died and all his helpers went to prison. Every woman in Boca felt a lot safer after that day. Please give some thought to this story and tell us what you would have done if you were this brave woman. You only get two choices, defend yourself with a firearm, or be killed.
I rest my case.
