Actually it is just the opposite. Our country was founded on the gun, it was expanded by the gun, and it has been the way since it's inception.
People who carry a gun have had to make some soul searching decisions (or at least the responsible people) and don't take the responsibility lightly.
We are not looking to draw on someone, we get plenty of time at the range, or hunting, or whatever form of the recreation we use so it isn't like we are looking to draw on someone.
Now having said that if you put my life in danger, or worse yet someone in my family rest assured you will be seeing the wrong end of my gun, and it is the last thing you will ever see. Do I look for this opportunity? not by a long shot (no pun intended) does anybody else? I doubt it, especially from the people on this board.
I started shooting when I was about 6/7, under the strict supervision of my father, I was taught proper respect for a gun, and those values were passed along to my children and followed today.
Your country is vastly different than mine, thus the differing opinion.
