Logtroll - I’ve had that same conversation - that I don’t live in fear of the statistically remote chance hence don’t need to protect myself from it - nice to know there are others.

This is not intended as any kind of legal opinion, it’s just me, but - if I am in a public place (hell, if I am in a private place) and you show up openly armed, my brain will slot you immediately into “aggressor,” and absolutely not as “protector.”
