Once again, its not about being fearful everywhere one goes, its about being prepared to defend yourself, if necessary.

Again you appear to be making my point is that you want a gun based on fear, and from your own example it appears from being shot as you mention 'gun' violence can occur at any time.
If you didn't have the fear you wouldn't feel the need to defend yourself.
People are already dieing because of the experiment of letting everyone have guns so lets try another experiment that has proven to work in other countries with far fewer deaths due to crime and gun shots.
You are afraid when eating dinner you are going to be facing a criminal. A society that has that, shows there is something terribly wrong.
You should have the right to feel safe where ever you go, not just full of fear and feel you can handle it. There is a big difference.
I know I can't change what you feel but at least realise my goal would be to make you happier and not dead.
More guns just doesn't make any sense if happiness is the goal.
More guns makes a lot of sense if death is the goal as that is what a handgun is designed for - to kill people.
