I was talking with a friend recently, and we got to discussing the merits of various firearms. When I showed him the revolver that I was carrying that day, he expressed surprise that I would have a gun with me all the time.
He asked if that didn’t mean that I was ‘living in fear’. So I asked him if he had a fire extinguisher in his home. He said yes, of course. I asked if that meant that he was living in fear. Or was he just recognizing that if something unlikely but potentially terrible occurs, it’s good to be able to deal with it on your own until help arrives?
