2. 'Cards are on the table' aka 'tactical advantage' or 'Bad guys attack me'- - Anybody storm the gate of a military installation? No? Why not then? Because there are soldiers behind the gate. Same applies to attacking an armed person. Sure maybe I am not as well armed as the military post, but chances are high that it would end bad for the attacker.

There's a problem with that comparison. It's pretty easy to avoid a military installation if you don't want to attack one, however a bad guy may not know about the gun on your hip until he's already committed to the crime. Standing in line with your gun hanging out for all to see could go extremely badly for you if a group of armed men in ski masks bust through the door to execute a take over robbery.
