I think the more important question is why would anyone live in a community where you felt it necessary to carry a handgun? There are still lots of safe places to live and hunt in the world, believe it or not. I've never seen anything in the bush which I would consider a threat. In the city, I'm really not that interested in getting into a gunfight. When was the last time you heard of a citizen successfully defending themselves against an attack using a gun (except maybe on FOX TV!)
