Armed carjacker meets armed citizen

92. ultimately,

as gun restrictions fail to produce the desired results, more restrictions will be sought. Those will also fail to get the desired results, which will eventually be complete bans. That has been the case historically, see California and New York. Australia is another example. Now that gun ownership is higher, at least in NSW, than before NFA was passed, the gun prohibitionists are freaking out. Now the push is against pistols calling them "loaded small submachine guns in glove boxes." Never mind that handgun ownership is very small, especially in NSW, I doubt you can carry it loaded in your glove box. Last I checked, couldn't even do that in Wyoming. Looking at history is a good way of predicting the future. Nothing paranoid about it.

There are some cases where it is prudent to "strap on" when leaving the house. Being openly gay or have an Arabic surname in a Skinhead infested shit hole comes to mind. Being a woman who works the late shift in an oil field town is another. My current situation, not so much since inconvenience outweighs the risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
