Interesting disconnect then, between your position on this and Concealed Carry. Forgive me if I'm mis-attributing or mis-characterizing your opinion, but didn't you make a post recently about how you did (didn't?) understand why people carried guns concealed in self-defense in urban settings?

Most people justify CCW precisely for the reason you justified carrying a gun for defense against a bear. They don't ever want to use it, but "but if it's him or me, I'd rather it's me dusting him than him [] me..."?
