I am terrified of a loaded gun--when it is in the hands of the junkies that are even out here in the boonies. When it is in the hands of a sane and law abiding person it is a welcome sign of their responsibility and willingness to protect themselves and their neighbors.
That's a good time to be afraid. Junkies are a different beast. People who are high don't respond the same to pain and it can take a lot more force to stop them if they are coming at you.
