Very true, but the point I was trying to make is, that as a group they are inherent risk takers, and if everyone is armed, and therefore supposedly equal it will not stop them, they will just try too improve the odds in their favour,.... if there's any doubt, they'll shoot first.
All this actually achieves is a much greater risk of the intended victim being killed.
If I could be armed without the knowledge of my attacker, I have a real advantage (over not being armed), but once the crim realizes that I am armed, my advantage largely goes out the window and he will be a lot more nervous, making my position much more dangerous. One sneeze or unexpected move, and I'm dead.
