On the flip side, you're showing me that you don't understand the "protect myself and property" mentality. I do not go about my day believing that no one will hurt me, or that someone does not wish to hurt me or my property just because they claim to be part of an organization that doesn't hurt people.

I'd much prefer to err on the side of being prepared and assuming someone is going to hurt me then be hurt and think "gosh, I wish I had been ready for that."

If someone is boarding my ship or climbing into my car without my permission I don't care who they are or what group they claim to be part of; they are a threat to my person and my property. Of course you have to match force with force, but the rule still applies that it's better to be safe than sorry.
