I suppose you could take 'armed' to be someone with a knife, or a bottle, doesn't have to be a gun.

Instead of assuming everyone is armed to keep yourself from being a stunted adult, identify that you need some serious personal growth because you are using a Boogeyman to prevent you from acting like a child.

If we choose to live in a society where everyone has to be armed in order to have freedom, then we have failed as a society and our freedom is a fallacy.

I live in the UK, I will not make this assumption as it would be stupid. Other countries exist.

They could, it’s extremely unlikely outside a few certain areas.

Edit. It’s also illegal to carry a knife unless it’s less than 3” long and folds, like aa Swiss Army knife or similar.

I dont know if you have ever been out of the US but if you havent I would strongly encourage it. It really shows you how stupid a lot of our social norms are.

The resentment builds up. It's always better to remove your ego.

I agree with that. But I live in deep red Texas and strangers simply aren't killing each other at rates that would warrant one to change his/her behavior as you're suggesting.

I have another LPT: just don't be a dick to randos out in the world.
