The fact that you're holding the gun and the other man is not is no accident. It's a product of everything you've achieved, it assumes that if you're . . . you're aware enough, you have the gun when you need it.

Do you carry a gun? No. I own one. You think I should carry it? Statistically it will shorten your life, not lengthen it.
