Ustwo...I'm just curious how you defend yourself...per the OP?

You misrepresented my position. I have never been opposed to law abiding citizens owning guns or concealed carry permits.

I would, however, like to see more comprehensive threat assessment training.

But in regard to this discussion, I believe there are other ways that are also effective in minimizing the potential for becoming a victim of a violent crime.

There is about a 2% chance that I will become a victim of a violent crime in Washington, DC. If I avoid certain neighborhoods, it probably drops to far less than 1%. I imagine it is not very different than Chicago.
