There is a segment of the population which worships guns. These are the guys who have tons of pics with them posing with their babies, and they use their weapons to define their personality to an extent--without their guns, they have a gaping hole where their personality should be (this doesn't include active duty military--their weapons are a part of them, as that is how they are trained. Don't ever be caught without your weapon, or leave your weapon unsecured).
Unfortunately, the gun worshipers are the most visible of gun advocates, even though they represent a very small percentage of gun owners. For the overwhelming majority of gun owners, a gun IS a tool, and they would no more pose in tough guy pictures with their weapon than they would pose in pictures with their screwdrivers or blenders.
Carrying a weapon is not a "feeling" of security; it IS more secure.
