I presume, roach, that you are familiar with Pascal's Wager.
Which would you regret more? Being unarmed and unsupported by the police, miles away, in a life-and-death situation, or begrudging yourself to have a self-defense weapon within reach?
The risk of not possessing a defensive weapon far outweighs the risk of possessing one, in my opinion.
