I note your observations on city life and cannot refute them from any experience and there is some obvious concern and reasonableness. I think most of it, though, is a matter of message. This struck me as something I believe but in a slightly different way. It is probably good to send the message that we, especially women and what we deem minorities (heck, I think I will be a minority of sorts soon) are not weak and defenseless. Just the possibility of someone being able to defend themselves (not necessarily with a firearm) is a good thing. This is why we put the sign on the yard that says "These premises are protected" and have a decal on the car that indicates it is alarmed. It's difficult to send a believable message if it is prohibited and discouraged. All handguns must be registered in the U.S. Sales of other weapons through licensed dealers are recorded and are de-facto registrations, though not as detailed and usable as a database as some desire. Thanks for your views. I agree with #1 of the last paragraph but agreeing with #2 would defy our heritage.
