The fact that they seek out groups can be used against them.

If the actual armed rate were a mere 3%:
-In a random group of 23 people, it is more likely than not that at least 1 person is armed.
-In a random group of 100 people, there is a 95% probability that at least 1 person is armed.
-In a random group of 10 people, there is still a 1 in 4 chance that at least 1 person will be armed.


Finding an able and willing 3% is not a problem.
The problem is "defenseless victim" zones.
I couldn't agree more, and I don't think it could have been put better than you did, well done!
