Some will argue that the odds of someone shooting you, or the odds of dying from any kind of assault are slim, so carrying a gun is an over-reaction by vigilante wanna-be's. But consider the following odds from the National Safety Council:
* Your odds of drowning in a swimming pool are 1 in 6,279, and society has deemed it "sensible" to place live-saving devices and fences around the pool.
* Your odds of dying riding your bike are 1 in 4,111, and society has deemed it "sensible" to wear a helmet.
* Your odds of dying in a car accident are 1 in 261, and society has deemed it "sensible" to wear a seat belt.
* Your odds of dying from assault are 1 in 210. Why would anyone think it's not "sensible" to have a means of protection?
