That's right. To protect ME, and those I care about. If others are saved in the process, then that is a Good Thing. The police are there (as much as they can be) to protect society as a whole, but individual security is up to the individual. If an individual is not capable of carrying because he is a habitually drunken lout, or is lazy/irresponsible/wandering through life unaware of his surroundings, then he should not look to me to protect him. Our wonderful progressive society protects such people, as best it can. That level of security is not good enough for me and mine, so I provide my own. The Collectivists in our society (and you it seems) want to fault me for making that judgement. How dare I value my own life more than that drunken frat-rat values his! How I dare I care more about the personal security of my children than some "party-girl" who wakes up in a different room every Saturday morning cares for her own! That would be judgemental, and WE CAN'T HAVE THAT! God gave me a brain, with which to make comparisons, and decisions based on them. If I hold situation A to be better than situation B, then I have made a Judgement! If situation B is the sorry state of a drunken frat-boy, then that makes me judgemental, I guess. If you want to call me narcisisistic, go ahead. Just don't require me, or others who have proven themselves to be responsible, capable people, to share the same risks as the irresponsible people, if we want to attend (or even visit) the Public Schools that we pay for!
