A good friend of mine was fishing alone in the country years ago. Several thugs drove up, robbed him, beat him almost to death, and left him for dead. He laid there in a pool of blood until someone found him. His face was crushed in from the club they beat him with. He now has titanium plates in his face as a result of reconstructive surgery.
He always carries a gun with him now. If he had one then, I'm sure this wouldn't have happened to him.
I carry a gun everywhere, especially when I don't think anything bad might happen. I will not accept being a victim. If you want to take your chances then it's fine with me. Really you don't have much of a choice since your government cut your nads off.
