Hah, this thread really took off while I was away. Well it looks like we finally disagree on something cromp. Most of that stuff is media fearmongering. Driving your car, anywhere, is literally orders of magnitude more dangerous than going into a shopping mall. So unless you avoid all roads and don't drive...I can't see how taking the time everyday to arm yourself is worth the trouble. Because make no mistake, every single thing in life carries risk. So there is *always* the question of risk vs safety/reward for every situation no matter how mundane. We risk our safety on far more on mundane things every single day than we ever do in not going armed.
For me driving a car, or smoking a cigar every now and then is worth the risk. Same thing in regards to going unarmed to most places. I'll cut out the risks where I can, but being unarmed is just not that big of a risk to warrant the energy needed to do so.
