As a lawyer and a as a normal citizen (mind you I’m not American) I’ve been to couple of situations where it made it better. Once was against a home invasion attempt as a citizen. Other was when someone threatened to kill me in my office as lawyer. There are some more but I’ll keep them to myself.

How did the home invasion attempt resolve?

Me and my family would be robbed and who knows what else the person who was trying to enter into my house and as for the event at my office I’ll be shot at my office. Are you really lacking empathy and foresight this much for me to explain all this to you?

No, I misread your comment and thought it was from someone who had been in a situation where a gun would have made it better, rather than one where it had.

There is nothing interesting about that. In my country it’s hard to get legal carrying license or licence to have a gun. I have one because I’m a lawyer. However criminals don’t care about such legitimacy issues do they? Anyone who is talking about easy access to guns somehow doesn’t understand or ignorant about the fact that criminals can get those guns easier than anyone going through the legitimate ways. It’s not hard to smuggle small firearms. Anywhere in the world you can find an illegal/black market gun easily.
