A man who is not capable of waging lethal violence on those who would do him grievous harm sucks at being a man and, is in fact, short-sighted.
I don't carry a small revolver in my pocket to feel safe. I carry it because I realize that human beings are animals too and a small percentage are rabid, feral creatures with no regard for others. If I have the misfortune of encountering one of these misfits I want the ability to fight on equal terms rather than just die like a bitch. A gun's no guarantee but against someone else with a gun, it's definitely better than a pointy stick.
