No it is not! A thinking society is a polite society whether armed or not. Same as ‘guns don’t kill people, people kill people’. Guns don’t make people safe, people make people safe. How many people think they are alpha dog walking around with a gun and they’re not going to get taken or abused. If you think you’re not going to get taken or abused, shoot somebody and see what happens after that. Whether or not you are in the right.
The thinking gun owner sheepdog knows he will have hell to pay and therefore is careful about what he does and says. He is realistic, logical and polite. There is always some moron out there who wants to get into a fight or wants to prove you wrong or teach you a lesson. And it’s getting worse. Opinions and facts are just that. The only thing worth fighting for in a violent and physical way is your life.
Be careful out there and think.
