I don't think its understandable, if by that you mean it was a natural consequence of what happened. This "incident" happened on the other side of the planet and the links to the local media reports...

Actually, you think you wouldn't have been. But frankly, inside a camper you would have just as likely been a sitting duck. Even if you got your gun out when the guy knocked on your window, as soon...

But those aren't remote possibilities. They happen every day and are so common that they are commented upon only as personal stories unless there is a tragic result. Even at that, the story of a...

"I don't carry a spare engine because there's a remote possibility my engine throws a rod."

I don't think I have ever seen that happen on TV.

"I watch the news and hear about violent crime every day"

Which is the problem.

"I have never heard of a carjacking, robbery or assault by a bad guy with bug spray as a weapon. "

I haven't carried concealed weapon for almost 70 years and have never been in a situation where I needed one.
