fta: i dont think i was over-generalizing terribly much, actually.
again, i live in an urban environment. i dislike guns intensely. someone got shot next door to me a few weeks ago. despite that, i dont have a gun and have no plans of getting a gun as the Idea of self-defense with a gun serves no therapeutic function for me and the reality is that i dont have a gun and dont want a gun. period.
the question of reliance on the cops is interesting and complicated obviously--another question of your experience more than anything else. like i said from the outset of this entertainment, my fundamental position is and remains that different contexts engender basically different relations to weapons--spatial context, personal context.
maybe when dk imagines a scenario, he has a gun with him and the closest highway patrol dude is 45 minutes away.
i dont.
