John Steinbeck issued a warning that all should remember:
"Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an a$$ kickin'.
I've been saying that for the last 20 years: my knees are to bad for me to run...or to chase, smoked to many years to fight for very long...so, bang!
In general that's a good sentiment. But, if you believe it...why don't you carry?
