It's case by case for each person, and it really depends where you live. The vast majority of people do not need to carry a weapon to defend themselves. But for those that do have that need, be it crime, environment or something else, it's kind of like a seat belt, something you hope to never have to use, but could save your life or the life of someone you care about.
