    I worked in the US for a long time and at no point did I ever feel the need to carry a gun around. If anybody ever did mug me they’d just get my wallet It’s not worth fighting over it.

    If somebody wants me dead then the gun isn’t going to do me any good, how am I going to get it out of the holster in time?

      You should obviously keep it in your hand, finger on the trigger, at all times. Like the garbage guy in the article.
