"In doing so you may feel safe, but statistically you increase the chance of getting shot with your own weapon. "

This is an inane tautology if I've ever read one. Of course you have a greater chance of getting injured by your own weapon in a conflict if you carry. If you don't carry it, it will not be involved in the conflict at all. Inane.

Let's see...

Chance of getting injured by a gun I left at home at the time of an assault: zero
Chance of getting injured by a gun I have on my person at the time of an assault: miniscule

Miniscule is a substantial increase from zero. Wow.

And this is why I called it a tautology.
