LOL! Oh no, you give me too much credit.
I'm sure there are many, many other people with guns too. Imagine being a bad guy and just not knowing whether or not your intended victim may give you more holes than what you started the day with.
Of course in the UK that's not possible. You must be meek and quietly hand over your property as to not offend society's victim.
Unfortunately, some people will never understand this. I have had a PA carry permit for years. I just this week requested CCW applications from Florida and Virginia. Florida permits are recognized in many states and Virginia permits are accepted in West Virginia where I plan on buying some property. I wish some smart congressman would submit a bill that would provide a permit for concealed carry in all 50 states. After all, the Constitution (2nd Amendment) trumps state law.

I expect this is why many bad guys too carry guns and use them straight away. Still, if you feel safer with guns, go ahead, it's your country.

You're completely wrong here, but don't worry, a lot of people in the USA (and especially FR) harbour the same delusions.
