The same reason I bear them anywhere else. I know your law has long ago abrogated that right for you. And I think that's a shame.
Sorry you may feel insulted, but I can't be responsible for your misconception that a *place* is violent. Personally, I don't think places are violent, and I don't think weapons are violent.
People, however, are sometimes violent. And when you run into such, it can ruin your whole day.
And it only takes one...not a whole place-full. Where it happens is irrelevant...unless it happens to be a victim disarmament zone. Like all of the UK. Including the quiet little tourist town I visited in Wales, where a scrap metal dealer is currently up on charges of bludgeoning to death three generations of a family.
With a bar of scrap metal, naturally... :-)
