SA and good training
Here is the thing......
With modern technology there is just no excuse not to carry. Even if your just running to the store how hard is it to slip and LCP or 642 into your pocket? If you do enough training with those little pocket guns you can become proficent
Point being that I am always carrying something. I am not ever armed to the teeth either. I typically keep a truck gun and an on the body gun. No one eever knows what is about to happen but being aware and prepared is a good start.
To answer the origional question I do not believe things have gotten worse then they had been previously. The media has a lot to do with the current level of sensationalism.
