Why? I mean if a gun could help you in that situation, some other non lethal stuff could have also been enough. At least those are enough for people not in the US facing similar situations.

I've been stabbed too. Ive never felt the need to carry a gun. I face a lot of risk anytime I leave my house esp rn acc due to political unrest essentially I still don't feel the need for guns yet the government do feel the need for arming trained police (known for corruption and violence where I'm from) who I think are a lot more likely to kill me than someone w a knife. As I mentioned tho I still don't feel the need to arm myself against those people infact doing so would worsen the situation as I'd be more of a threat and could be further used for the narrative justifying the arming of police in the first place

Edit: if an unarmed person is shot by police even if its attempted to be covered up the people who were there will know what happened. if I try to shoot the police because im threatened and they shoot back that's going to worsen things. I don't see how its better to carry a gun in this situation

Running away saved me a lot of times. It also failed me twice, and those two times left me with a scar and a permanent disability. As a complete self-defense solution it's a bad idea, but as part of your defense it's a great suggestion for any able bodied people.

I can no longer outrun potential attackers. This door is closed to me.
