LockedBreech, I agree, it is a sliding scale. My issue is with those who assume absolute safety in nice neighborhoods.

My cousin lived in a nice neighborhood when a rapist decided to attack several women there - as it was nice, but remote.

I lived in a fairly nice neighborhood when somebody kicked in my back door and burglarized the place, several years back.

A friend lived in a nice neighborhood... you get the idea.

I generally carry more as a habit pattern, and in my current neighborhood I am more likely to shoot a coyote, bobcat, or snake than a human assailant. But I don't really think twice about it, the gun just goes on as part of getting dressed.
