      Uh, no. There are quite a lot of laws governing when deadly force is allowed which vary by country and state. I’m quite sure none of them allow it when someone “bothers you”.

        There’s also laws governing what constitutes theft. Your entire argument about needing a gun is dependent on people not following the law.

          Yeah the people stealing shit are… different people and not me?

          What is your point?

              I mean, I don’t require your trust.

              But consider the consequences if I misuse my gun. They’re quite a lot more serious than those caught stealing.

                I agree with you completely.

                  I mean yeah. The thing about carrying a gun gun is that if you use it, you’re going to get arrested, probably. Even if it’s self defense.
