I obviously do not believe citizens should turn on each other, that remark is uncalled for, unsupported, and offensive. It is simply a rant.

You choose to interpret encouraging people to own weapons as a bad thing. This is irrational, I advise everyone to keep a first aid kit in their home and car, and to learn how to use them, it is not because I do not trust our hospitals and emergency services nor would everyone having one and trained in its use eliminate hospitals. It might reduce some of our need for hospitals, if people were more versed in basic medicine and had the means to treat on hand, but that hardly seems a bad thing and would certainly not eliminate hospitals.

Your logic is flawed, based on irrational fear rather reason. Me carrying a gun would not represent distrust for the law, the police, or the judicial system. My various and numerous cop friends all carry weapons off duty, they encourage others to do so, and they use the simple logic that a gun on the person of a decent person who is trained in its use is better than a gun on a cop who is five minutes away. Same as my first aid kit in my car is right there and an ambulance is not, it may not help me, it is inferior option to an ambulance and trained paramedics if they are there, but it gives me an option.

And we inevitably return to the 'no gun' option because in spite of your other remarks your remarks above make it clear you consider the idea of even a significant minority of citizens being armed, CCW or open, to be terrifying and sickening to you, with your 'dystopia' remarks. My only conclusion form this is that you're very hostile to guns and have either been cynically lying to me this entire conversation or have severe dissonance on the matter in your own mind.

And this dystopia notion is ridiculous. Ohio alone has over 300,000 CCW permits currently and there has been no outbreaks of vigilante justice or firefights breaking out or duels. PA, with about the same population as us, has 800,000 issued and yet no bloodbath has broken out.
