If the police aren't threatening to shoot you then you don't need a gun to shoot back.

As if the police were the only such threat, and the crime that police are supposed to protect us from isn't significant. Without police, I'd be more inclined to carry and I don't think that would be unusual.

This assumes criminals only carry guns to defend themselves against police shootings, which is obviously and amusingly incorrect.
