Scenario: a neighbor sees you and gets his gun to "disarm" you. Another calls the cops telling them about a bunch of "crazies" running around armed. the police comes with reinforcements and the probability of someone ending up getting shot increases exponentially. Good grief, it is enough to despair over the pattern of these events.
