"I'd rather be in a room full of average ppl who were all armed than in a room where only one person had a gun."

Dead set, mate. Youngest son did a Kontiki through the US and couldnt get over how people were so polite, compared to our drunken rabble. The reason? If everyone "carries", you're not going to "push & shove", even. "Sorry Sir, did I spill your drink? Let me buy you another one".
In States/Counties where gun ownership is mandatory, the crime rate is Zero.
Their signs "Never mind the guard dog, beware of owner" are for real.
