I'm speaking in principle. As someone who claims to go to pains with non-lethal or less-lethal alternatives, why would you make lethality the first and foremost trait of defensive gun use?

City crime and drugs usually go together, so the chances of someone being high when they attack you is not that far fetched. Guys on drugs have gotten shot multiple times and not even realized it. They also don't make the best decisions.

Presumably, if one lives in a Detroit or DC slum, the risk of falling victim in a larceny or felony is much higher than the average for the entire country - and thus justifies possession of a firearm for self-defense. Now, "intoxicated" does not necessitate "being in a psychotic rage". Preparing for the latter sort is like carrying a potassium cyanide tablet at all times on the off chance that the CIA will detain and interrogate you.
