While everyone is using the publicized mass shootings as an argument (regardless of which side of the argument they stand), what about the simple muggings?
Putting aside the argument of having regular people arming up and what public policy should be, what about the individual? is it reasonable for you or me, a regular civilian to carry a weapon?
It might not have prevented some of the publicized shootings, but wouldn’t it make the individual somewhat protected against any violence that might come their way?
