The presence of someone with a weapon will routinely discourage a piece of the garbage from making the last shitty decision of his worthless life.

Nevermind all the encounters that don't even happen because someone had a firearm, that are never logged or reported. There shouldn't even be a debate. I can establish my own security however I like as long as it's not imposing on others.

2 million times every year. Those are not my numbers, that is what the CDC found in their 'investigation' to make firearms 'bad'.
