In martial arts they teach you the 5 steps. Roughly translated here
1) control the situation
2) defuse the situation
3) defend yourself
4) apply force
5) apply deadly force.
I worry much more about someone who just because they have a gun, jumps from step 1 to 5. Seems to happen on a regular basis.
To often what should have been a shouting match, or at the very most a fist fight,. turns into someone dead. And the shooter having to live with that for the rest of his or her life.
It's not the guns so much as it is the person that has one. Guns allow you to kill from a distance. People are mad at something else waiting for one little insult, then they apply deadly force.
I worry more about some "crazy" in CG than a bad area of town
