So in the beginning, you explain how I was wrong to think that it’s people feeling they need a gun just to go grocery shopping, then you end by explaining how you need a gun to feel safe when you go grocery shopping.
I’m not sure you’ve really thought your position through all the way.

I’m not sure what you’re looking for when you ask me to name a few larger risks and mitigations to you and your families personal safety. I literally opened with a list of precautions you could, but almost certainly aren’t, taking. Wearing a helmet while in a motor vehicle, or refitting your car with a five point harness will do a lot to prevent injury or death in a vehicle accident, which is stupendously more likely than dealing with a dangerous armed person.
If you’re not taking those options, but you are carrying a gun, I find it hard to believe that it’s just a simple risk mitigation analysis, because your probabilities are grossly out of line.

Also, who said anything about denying people weapons or even the ability to carry them?
I said some people don’t like being around guns, and you should be able to say “you can’t bring a weapon into my house or business without my permission”.
If that sounds like denying people their right to self defense to you… I’m not sure you’re worth talking to.
