14. the murderer alone is responsible for the murder

Cases where there are specific threats are different than a random attack like the Kitty Genovese murder.

Presidents and candidates who are threatened get Secret Service protection, they would be foolish to refuse.

Professors who are threatened don't get Secret Service protection, so they need to take care of business for themselves.

And even in restrictive states like CA, if you have specific threats you can get a carry permit (see Feinstein, Diane; or Boxer, Barbara)
