If I were the kind of American who thought that what we do here is normal and everybody else is screwed up then that would make sense. However, that's not the case.
Our country is different, our laws are different. Yes, I think carrying a gun is fairly normal for U.S. citizens but I'm not suggesting it's normal everywhere else. I'm also not suggesting that our gun situation is better. It is what it is, I'm just making the most of it.
I've had to draw my gun twice in the last 20 years. That's two more times than anybody should ever need to do such a thing. I'm just glad that my actions stopped the violent intentions of the other two people or I might not be alive today. In one of the cases, a guy was running towards me with a fire axe. The fishing pole I had with me wasn't going to make him think twice about his actions.
Obviously more guns is not the answer to a safer society but I'm also smart enough to realize that no matter what you or I think, this country will continue to sell more guns anyway. Another thing I know is that I trust myself and my intentions more than I trust the intentions of others.
