+ as far as those that choose to carry/own them for the reasons you speak of...it isn't ALWAYS out of fear, it's often (probably more than often...) out of the knowledge...the FACT...that sometimes the enemy MIGHT have one. SOunds like a pretty good excuse to own one to me.

And many collectors do the proper thing like taking the firing pins out just in case they're stolen.
