    There is nothing wrong with being prepared for the worst.

    There is something wrong with it. There’s always that temptation to use the gun in a situation that doesn’t call for it. We’ve had two “self-defense” shootings in my town in the past few years and in both cases, someone legally carrying a gun used it in a situation where they could have simply walked away, and they probably would have if they didn’t have their guns. The shooters in both situations ended up with felony convictions.
