I need a gun to feel like a man!

--- Quote ---Psychological projection was conceptualized by Sigmund Freud in the 1900s as a defense mechanism in which a person unconsciously rejects his or her own unacceptable attributes by ascribing them to objects or persons in the outside world. For example, a person who is rude may accuse other people of being rude.
Although rooted in early developmental stages, and classed by Vaillant as an immature defence, the projection of one's negative qualities onto others on a small scale is nevertheless a common process in everyday life.

As a woman who rarely leaves her house without a firearm (sometimes 2) as well as an edc knife - I am approached with this type of question often. I look at it much the same as you do. I wear my seatbelt, take my vitamins, exercise. Why would I not take precautions to protect myself should the need ever arise? Its like an insurance policy. We insure everything else in our lives. Why not our safety?
I do however feel that practicing situational awareness is a key factor in carrying as well. I generally get the question "What are you afraid of?" to which I answer "Nothing and nobody." Don't get me wrong - Im not invincible, nor am I Rambo but if I ever need to protect myself or my family I will do everything in my power to do so. Compensating? I think not.

Good points. I have the same mindset - I buckle my seatbelt when running down to the grocery store 3 blocks away. I probably won't get in an accident, but it's so easy to take that precaution that there's no reason not to. I carry for the same reason.
Almost every time I've debated gun control with an antigun person it has devolved into them personally attacking me, after they're unable to refute the facts.

Expect personal attacks if you're engaged in a 2A debate with a devout anti. Be professional and be nice.
Then come back here for moral support. :)
