I know you (and probably John as well) and I won't agree on this, but having a gun doesn't make you a sheepdog. There are plenty of stories of people with guns panicking and making bad decisions, whether in wartime or in shootouts. Conversely, not having a gun doesn't make someone a sheep either. A gun is just a tool, but the ability to make decisions, prioritize, and adapt under duress goes beyond whether someone conceal carries or not.
