Philosophy 101

I guess the point of this discussion is that carrying a gun is not necessarily always for defense against human assailants. Only once in my 68 years of life have I had to use a gun for that purpose, but I have lost count of the times I have encountered "critters" that needed to be either put out of their misery if injured, prevented from doing something harmful to people or pets, or just discouraged from being a nuisance around the place.

I really don't like killing stuff, but it's gotta be done on occasion. I believe we as humans have a responsibility to intelligently control our environment, and sometimes that requires removing things that do or may do harm.
