The reason to carry a pistol is to fight your way back to the rifle you should not have put down.

A bunch of cautionary tales, irrelevancies and "guns might make you safer sometimes, but..." is not exactly a pro-gun piece.
It's standard NPR formula where they attempt to sound balanced.
They clearly don't want to encourage anyone to go out and join the ranks of gun owning Americans.

// It’s puzzling that so many Americans are choosing to arm themselves at a time when the FBI tells us violent crime and property crime have been falling dramatically for two decades. //
Puzzling, lol! Obvious bias there, couldn’t *possibly* be that armed society = more polite society. Libidiot.

So funny - we all stopped short at that insane denial of cause & effect, which is NOT funny.

What silence do you kill with a silencer?
If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?

Better to carry and not need it than to leave it and need it, kind of like a rubber.
