Luck? Did you read I was relying on luck as opposed to owning a gun? Sorry, no, am not relying on luck, but using concrete non-violence/non-gun use safety skills to stay out of danger. Learned them from adults as a child, and later in effort to respond to what seemed to me to be reliance on use of guns and violence in society. I'm not saying folks can't defend themselves with a gun. I am saying those who have them are fearful at base, and apparently oblivious to countless other effective non-violent options. 

I understand that in your opinion my opinion is incorrect. 

Oh-did you know that just holding a gun was shown to increase testosterone and aggression in men?
