Are you the president of the United States? Are you a multi-millionaire? Are you openly a member of a gang or other criminal organization?
If not, then, quite plainly, you're not a target. Period.
You'd be surprised how often people get targeted for no reason / stupid reasons.
Frankly, I find that the people that oppose guns and concealed carry are usually the type that live in nice neighborhoods and make nearly six figures, where the opinion is invalid. So, basically the demographic of Hacker News.
1. Do what you can to make all neighbourhoods better. (Donate to or volunteer at local organizations working to improve neighbourhoods, get to know your neighbours, vote for positive change, join neighbourhood watch, etc.)
2. Do what you can to protect yourself until Step 1 comes to fruition. (Avoid high-risk areas, maintain situational awareness, train in self-defense, carry self-defense tools, etc.)
That disabused me of any notion I am never a target.
