Well, there's the rub, isn't it? Are we to assume that all gun toters
can judge such situations so nicely?

It just isn't that hard. It is a lot easier that driving a car, and I bet my
life on the competence of other drivers every day.

Beyond that, the requirements for getting a Concealed Weapons Permit are far
more restrictive than that for a drivers license. A single act of ill temper,
getting the attention of the police, will bar you from getting a CWP forever.
Drivers licenses are far easier to get and keep.

I really feel safer in the company of armed CWP holders than without them. But
then guns are just tools to me, I do not assign them magical powers.
