I believe that having a gun gives you bravado that can lead you in to unfortunate situations. If you pull a gun you are many times more likely to be shot than if you don't pull a gun. If you aren't carrying a gun there is zero chance that you will pull it. I'm 59 years old and worked in guns and badges for 25 years of my career. I have not once, in all of the places that I've gone and all of the things that I've done felt the need to have a gun while just going about my life. I see it as a sign of fear and weakness.
That's a good plan.
