Robbed twice is pretty scary
I don’t carry a gun anywhere. Not on me, not in my car. Only if I camp, and only then if it’s going to be a rural area. We have lots of campgrounds with tons of people at them that are closest that I have camped many times at unarmed
I can outfight or outrun any threat, not worried about it. My dad is in a constant state of disappointment for buying me a 9mm more than 6 years ago that I have never shot once, not even in practice
But when I get old and frail I will probably carry. Women, especially alone at night in a sketchy area should carry. I see so many stories of women deciding to walk home at night from a bar unarmed that end up in pieces in the woods somewhere on the crime channels I watch

I keep my guns at home as well. However, I keep encouraging my wife to carry a pistol in her car, she's the one who is afraid of the rednecks around here, I can blend in with them pretty well but she didn't grow up in the south like me. She thought this shit was all the garbage they show you in country music videos until I actually moved us here (back here in my case), and then recently we moved to an even more exurban part of the metro area and she's afraid to go to Wal-Mart or the grocery store around here. She drove like 40 miles to go to Kroger last week in "civilization" as she puts it.
Her argument against it is that she's afraid someone will take it from her and just kill her with it, she's short and small
Nothing's perfect but I'd like to see her taking some shit like gouging people's eyes or ball kicking kind of defense classes. She always has knives on her though, it's come up at the airport several times
