You obviously do not have the "ghetto" element we have here in the US. Many people are shot and killed after completely complying with the demands of these "people". You would be a fool (not for long) to maintain your attitude here.The thing is that when they know that their prey don't have a gun, they skip using theirs. I think this is one of basis of my argument.
I have 2 young boys who have been around firearms and trained by me since they were 3 (THREE) and they are respectful of these weapons and know how to use them. They are now 14 and 12. The guns are locked up in a "gun closet" but each boy knows where the key is in case of an emergency. We shoot, reload and hunt regularly and for them the firearm is a piece of equipment which demands caution and respect. They know NEVER to touch one either in our own home or elsewhere unless I am present and give them permission. They have had access to them since they were little kids with my supervision and so the aura of the "forbidden fruit" never developed in them. It was a decision I made years ago with a lot of soul searching and reading material from the NRA.
We have a large population of vicious criminals and gang-members here in the US that kill helpless victims without regard for anything and the age of the attackers has dropped dramatically. It is no more comforting to be shot to death by an 11 y/o than by an adult. And believe me if I tell you they know what they are doing. It is often a ritual for initiation into a gang. To be unarmed is to make yourself the sacrificial lamb. This is not Sweden.
