But are these _really_ the only available choices? Either carry a gun or be a crime
victim? Are there no other steps you can take to protect yourself, such as avoiding
high crime areas, locking your car doors, buying a burglar alarm, carrying pepper
spray and so forth? While none of these steps _guarantee_ that you will not be a crime
victim, neither does carrying a gun. (Unless you're Quick-Draw McGraw, carrying a gun
can get you killed instead of just mugged, though.)
