That is quite the opposite reaction you should have. The issue is, 99.999% of the population will help you and protect you in an instance of need. The other .001% are the ones that want to hurt and rob you. The simple fact that those 99.999% of people are all carrying guns is what is called a deterrant to the .001% who will be 1000 times less likely to try something in the middle of the 99.999% of armed people.
This is how things have been throughout history. Your society is the first in history to walk around unarmed. I have been studying unarmed societies and their crime rates keep going up and up. Why? No consequence to ones actions is the simple answer. Contrast to the US of A and you will see just the opposite. Our crime rate hasn't been lower since the 1950's!!! The turn around has be attributed to the issuance of CWP's since they both coincide at about the same point in time. Of course, no one can be sure this is the exact reason, but it makes a strong case for the NRA guys.
