Also some of us have been to war or grew up in the deep woods where having a gun can save your life.

I guess technically that's being a victim too. Just that the perpetrator is more likely to be a bear than a person.

    Yep being 20 feet away from a bobcat will probably make you reassert things. Also having a handgun pointed at you as well. And hearing a ricochet of a bullet right in front of you.

    I’m not saying a gun helps in all those situations but it definitely changes your available options.
