Well, odds of getting 'gunned down' here aren't significantly higher
than they are in Britain, if one starts off with the assumption that
one isn't a gang banger. Stay out of really bad neighborhoods and
avoid egregiously stupid behaviour like trying to frighten and
ignoring the warnings of armed people in their own homes and your
odds are much greater of slipping and falling to death in the
bathtub than they are of being 'gunned down'.

Not to mention the fact that I can, and would, shoot back!!!!!!!


If you ever tried shooting back after you've been shot dead, you'd
notice that it isn't that easy.

In war-time you would shoot first and ask later if your're not
100% certain.

For some, though, the issue is blurred.

I am a very qualified pistol shot, trained in combat shooting.
Shooting me "dead" from anything other than an ambush
would be rather difficult. For europe, everything is "blurred"
