My ex-aunt used to carry a concealed weapon.
One night my uncle (her husband) and her were out at the bar with our family and having a good time. They went home and she said she was going to go in the bathroom and freshen up so they could fool around.
He laid on the bed. She came out of the bedroom and unloaded two rounds in his chest.
In her confession to police she said there was no motive, she just decided to do it spur of the moment. No history of abuse, cheating, etc. in either direction. They both were happy until that night.
I personally knew one person that was killed by the gun of a stranger in a crime. I know more that have been killed in hunting accidents or by somebody they knew and trusted.
Like I've said before, I support your right to arm yourself but the chances of being able to defend yourself with it are minute.
