- You should *not* carry a weapon for defense until you have considered
- the moral ramifications. Carrying a weapon you are not prepared to
- use will get you killed/hurt. What you must do is sit down and
- evaluate the relative importance of your life and the lives of your
- loved ones versus the life/lives of an assailant(s).
