Hand Guns

I'm thinking about the road rage that resulted in a football player being shot.  Further investigation showed that even the football player had a gun in his car, just didn't use it.  He's dead. The fact that there were multiple guns available in this incident does not seem to be a matter of discussion.

I don't own a gun, hand gun or rifle.  I have friends that do and I've even gone target shooting with them.  It's fun. There guns go back in locked safes in their houses.

But, the fact that I don't have a gun in the house or in the car or in my back pocket, does that put me in a group that is in particular danger?  Does not having a gun handy put me at risk?

Should I be afraid? If I had a gun would I not be afraid?
