It isn't about scared. My wife says the same thing about having guns in the house, she "doesn't like living in fear".
It's about preparation. Being in the military I carried a gun for a long time in a place where people shoot at you.
Here it is just about having a gun and not needing it compared to rolling into a situation, and by some remote chance needing one and not having it.
I still frequent gun free zones, but I severely limit my time in them. I wonder what happened to that LCDR who was packing when the recruiting center got hit. It is against the UCMJ for us to carry personal weapons on base, and for someone like me (paygrade wise), I would probably see brig time for that.
I would discuss my discomfort with that, but I prefer not to give them (the bad people) ideas like the press does all of the time.
