Many people feel they are under imminent threat from "the other"; that they are going to be victimized at any moment. This is fed by media outlets ("if it bleeds, it leads"), and social media, among others. So, "with all that chaos and evil", people feel the need to lock and load. To protect against a threat that is miniscule in reality. - 1pg

Most???? Not even close.

The threat is hardly imminent. I acknowledge it is minuscule. I don't live in fear and don't feel nervous or anxious about anything. I am a pretty laid back guy. That said, I was a Boy scout and Be Prepared is good advice.

I can't remember the last time I had a flat tire but I carry a spare anyway.
