And I think it's a stretch that you need to use LETHAL FORCE against someone for robbery. And again, if someone is mugging you, how likely is it that pulling your gun is going to make them stop compared to making them attack you? Scaring criminals != good idea.

No, no, because you just said:

If you're carrying your gun with you everywhere, you are NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE WITH IT. If you leave it in your bag, you're leaving it IN AN AREA THAT ANYONE CAN GET TO EASILY; especially kids.
If you have your gun locked up, it's not doing you much more good than a panic room would.
Anyway, I was specifically referring to people owning guns that should not own them. You clearly fall into that group, as do most people that own guns. Do I think that responsible people, with training and psychological evaluations, cannot be trusted with guns? Nope. Guns aren't evil-- they're just stupid. There are no good reasons to have them outside of sport-- and there are plenty of good sports out there that don't require instruments of death.
