The power is with the crowd.
No individual is greater than.
It might be unbelievable but it's far more peaceful.
If you don't have an expectation that someone in the room could extinguish you....it's easier to relax.

I've lived in countries with and without guns.
The countries without guns are far safer in general demeanour and feel. People rarely go around picking fights with random people unless they are teenagers, and teenagers that do that sort of shit soon get schooled the hard way. It's great not having a police force that is scared to death of you and your weapons either. Home invasion scenarios are rare, but people who do that sort of shit are hunted mercilessly by the police and will get heavily schooled in prison when caught.
In a country I lived in with guns I have seen people murdered just for looking wrong or being in the wrong place. Armed home invasions are common and the police will shoot you dead if you blink wrong or if they just plain don't like the look of you. Car jackings, armed hold ups, random slayings for minor personal belongings or drugs are the way of life.
Having lived on both sides of the fence it's my experience that people are happier and healthier when they are not full of bullet holes.

I literally cannot imagine a world without the great equalizer. Explain. No amount of training protects you from someone 3 times your size in most cases. A literal Bruce Lee would die if he had to fight a (in his prime) Brock Lesnar. How do you guys even live?
That has never been a problem in my life. I question if this is happening to you why these big guys want to kick your ass, it's almost certainly you that is the problem. Simply shooting someone because they are bigger/tougher than you is cowardly, if I was on the jury I would convict you if you didn't try every single thing you could to avoid conflict. If you are sitting there telling some hulk to fuck his mother because you know you are packing, fuck you, you are scum. That whole stand your ground shit is nonsense you should have a legal liability to try and deescalate.
It's not the great equalizer it's fucking up the natural order, enabling total nobodies to cause fear in the population. He went the gym everyday and trained and you just bought a gun. The pretty much incel shit man. You shot Chad because he kicked sand in your face on the beach like those old comic book Charles Atlas ads.
The only time in my life i wished i had one is when i got surrounded by a bunch black guys in the middle of the night after wandering drunk where I shouldn't have been. I think they got about 5 bucks, is that really something to murder someone over? I got in some good shots, getting robbed builds character.

I'm obese. If I with 375lbs jump on your ribcage you turn into a porcupine of protruding broken bones, with more stopping power than a .38 special.
Of course I'd rather not

Yeah, seriously. The only reason you have to need an equalizer is when everyone else has the equalizer. From that point, everybody is a potential shooting victim.

Pulling a gun should be the last resort. If you have to, be sure you know what is behind your target.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

If you own a gun, and you hear someone break into your house which would you grab, nothing, a baseball bat, or a gun?
Which one are you going to be the most confident in, with protecting yourself and your family?

Do you know somebody or somebody who's knows somebody that had a home invasion where everybody was tied up and raped?
Do you know somebody who has been shot?
Which is more real.

I once was working doing collections and then the lady working next to me, in her 60's was having the weirdest phone call and she started sounding very upset. She got up and clocked out at the time clock and the owner of the company was asking her what is going on what is wrong. She began crying and told her what happened. He daughter was gang raped by 3 men while her husband and son were tied up and forced to watch.
Interestingly enough, the people who did it were rapidly caught. The son of the property owner that they were renting their house from, who lived at the adjacent property, was the primary person who did it so it was a rapidly open and closed case. They had masks on but the car they used when they drove up was easily recognizable leading to a quick arrest.

But me personally I have had my house broken into 3 times in my life. The average rate in my current city I live in is everyone home gets broken into once every 7 years.
I have lived in this particular city for 7 years now, my 2nd year here my house got broken into.

You’re probably gonna be ambushed and your gun will be used to sodomize you with the safety off for shits and giggles. Or maybe you’ll just use it to put a hole in your wife because she won’t shut up about taking the garbage out. That’s usually what happens.
Someone on this site once told us a self defense success story where the homeowner managed to kill the intruder in a shootout. The homeowner took a bullet to the gut and now has a colostomy bag. So much winning.
