No, I'm not asking the question as if it would be an inconvenience. I was only referring to THIS case; and in this case there really was no answer. You are correct that any of the things I listed (gun, pepper spray, etc.) wouldn't have HURT the situation ... the end result would have been pretty much the same. They'd be dead.

I am fairly positive that the number of responsible gun owners is probably greater than the number of irresponsible gun owners (if we exclude the criminal element). I am also good-friends with several cops in this town (and others). I just happen to know MORE people who are irresponsible.

I also don't think Will is advocating a "why bother" kind of attitude. Neither am I. Just that there's no reason to dwell on statistics ... be prepared, but don't be paranoid.
