People who bring guns into urban areas have a bad assessment of danger, yes. There is almost no urban situation, especially on the street, where a concealed gun will help. It's not like anyone will give you a chance to draw your weapon if you are ambushed. And every mugger I've experienced or heard of starts with their weapon out or at least their hand on it. If you think you can quick-draw and beat them, you have watched too many movies. And, for the record, the source you cited shows that crimes where you would be morally or legally justified to use deadly force to defend yourself (e.g. rape, murder, assault), are less frequent in California than the national average and less frequent in San Fransisco than in California's average. Absolutely, if you think using a gun is a valid response to someone breaking your car window you are absolutely not a good judge of threats. Nor are you a responsible gun owner and should be forced to surrender your gun.
