LMAO. Wife and I carry every day. Self responsible. We are scared of nothing.
I’ve never carried and never had any concerns about it – I feel just fine. You guys ever gone out without carrying?

I have a smoke alarm, fire extinguisher and first aid kit at home, and another set of the latter two in my car. I'm sure many others do the same.

I agree but seems some do carry and act illegally over there.

To add context, there has been 80 or so school shooting in the US so far this year – that’s about 80 or so more than over here. The number and ease of access to firearms to law abiding citizens doesn't seem to be a deterrent.

You have that arse backwards in terms of quality of life. The US is slightly ahead of China (Australia ranking of 6, USA ranking of 20, China ranking of 23, according to US News. Other organizations have lists with similar results):
