When used properly by a person trained to use the gun, a gun rarely needs to kill (or does kill, for that matter) a person in order to be effective. If i were to stab someone, I wouldn't think that I absolutely MUST stab them to death for my personal safety to no longer be in jeopardy.

So, I guess we should make you, tkkfan, the sole judge and decision-maker on whose reasons are "valid" or "not valid", since you seem to have everything figured out for us.
A valid reason is no more than, "because I want one" wherever a "shall issue" law is in effect, and as for the rest, they need to catch up. It is ridiculous to assert that there could be a person or panel, etc., who could truly decide what is or is not a "good reason". This is why where it is tougher to get a concealed permit, it is so difficult- you basically need absolute proof of need, with no grey area whatsoever, which is dangerous for those who don't get it and might actually need it.
BTW- your constant reference to "gangs", etc. (including your comment about high-tops), does little to address the whole issue.
We are more likely to run into the person you call "average joe" than these roaming packs of minorities you obviously keep hinting at. This does not help support your argument, and only shows us the type of thought processes you are having.

After all, it's not easy to kill by clubbing, stabbing or hanging; these methods lack the super-ability and feasibility that guns provide.

Man, I love when people use this lame argument, because then I get to proudly state:
I can be standing at arm's length away from you, and kill you with a single blow, in only the time it takes me to reach out to you, using only 2 fingers on my hand. If you don't believe me, go look up most any good martial arts advanced training or military training tehcniques. There are dozens of ways to kill a person with a single blow.
You wouldn't even see my arm swing up.
And there is no super-ability involved, pretty much anyone smart and good enough to fire/use a gun could more than manage such maneuvers.

This is not an appropriate response. This type of post is rude, a little flaming, and trolling. No more.
Strike. One.
