I can think of a lot of reasons why not. Most of them is that most of us will never be in that kind of danger.
I think answers that just are kind of smart aleck and not helpful are not the way to defend carrying a gun or change anyone's view on the subject.
I have never felt the need of a gun but if people do, fine. I will never understand it personally, but I do believe that you have a legal right to do so.
Many of us believe in second amendment rights but do not see the need at this time and in this place to carry a gun. We have lived all of our lives in exceedingly safe areas, and feel that this is an exceedingly safe area with no need to carry firearms. I have heard all of the canned rhetoric about how "I don't know how unsafe I was" but I did know how safe I was. And this place is still safe. When and if that changes, I will change. But please answer Gerry Ann sincerely.
Gerry Ann, now I know dozens of quite ordinary people who have guns and I am not so shocked as I once was. In fact during the break ins last fall I was very glad to know of their presence close by.
