Carl Sagan, astrophysicist and atheist wrote:"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

The dog spray had no effect because you didn't keep it close and it was out of date. How is a gun any different?

Unfortunately, my seatbelt was off, and he pulled me out of the truck and away from my dog spray. I was able to get several good kicks in (I was wearing my work boots, and they really did some damage to the dog), and made it back to the truck, where I grabbed the dog spray. After giving the dog a good spray (and having it do nothing, since it was 6 years out of date), I retreated to the back of the truck where he couldn't get to me and called the police. 83 stitches and an overnight stay at the hospital later, I am home. Of course, the dog owner told my postmaster that I provoked the dog, who was protecting his property, and that he was going to sue me and the USPS for the dog's injuries.
Now my questions to you are, should owners of vicious dogs be required to register them/put up signage in their yards? Should they be required to have insurance, to protect anyone that may be mauled? Should the USPS allow postal carriers to carry firearms to protect themselves from vicious dogs? Should the USPS have some liability for not providing me with effective dog spray?

It arose because of 20 different spree killings by posties in the USPS. You may know some extremely highly educated posties but that's hardly the norm

It was kept close, until he was dragged from the vehicle.
How is that different to a gun?

Those are the people that will be armed. Fuck that. Adding more guns, entirely unnecessarily as per OPs story, isn't making the situation safer.
Why were you kept overnight OP?

By the time the doctor was finished with dressing my wounds, it was pretty late, and they wanted to keep me overnight for observation. There was some numbness in my fingers (before the anesthetic), and the doctor wanted to see if there was any nerve damage, or if it was just shock.
