I’m just saying that your comment started out superficially looking like an argument justifying guns in some situations, and then turned out not even being that.
I have no doubt that there are situations that would justify carrying a gun, but “you will need to shoot yourself” is not it.
And of course most people would simply prefer to avoid dangerous situations like that, or prefer the danger to be addressed in a more systemic way, if necessary. But not all danger needs to be made safe. Nature in particular just needs to be left alone sometimes.
