A few days ago, someone was walking along the Bay Bridge (between SF and the East Bay) shooting a gun at random cars. IIRC the cars were stuck in traffic, so avoidance was no use.
In that situation, would you feel safer with or without a gun?
Maybe safer because you could quickly immobilize the shooter?
Maybe less safe because you'd feel an obligation to attempt an intervention, but doing so could draw attention (and draw fire)?

But you noticed on the other hand that I am focused on what I believe is the statistical futility of carrying a gun and not focused on having one in your car or home? If someone came into my home where I’m laying next to my wife - the only other person who should be in my home - and my alarm went off that’s a completely different scenario. While I can suspect someone in public is meant to do my harm, I’m going to assume anyone who breaks into my house is trying to do me harm and I don’t have to worry about either police or the Justice system not believing me.
