I'm a combat vet and I fell on the side of never owning a gun. Gun culture makes me uncomfortable. "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." and whatnot.
I'm in big cities a lot and I'm just fine. Plus, I actually enjoy my day instead of existing in this perpetual state of anxiety (or depressingly for a lot of people, hope) of "Do I shoot someone today?"
