Go ahead and ask yourself what the intent is behind carrying a loaded gun for protection (whether personal or property). What does one intend to do with that gun? Guns that aren’t loaded might be intended to deter looters and arsonists. Guns that are loaded are intended to shoot people.
Guns that are bought and carried solely for hunting? That’s an example of a person who has no intention of shooting people.
Same person also stores that gun loaded with the purpose of easy access in case of a break-in/trespasser? That’s a person who intends to shoot someone.

I don't agree, this is America we're talking about. Guns are everywhere. This is more like someone bringing a tire iron everywhere in case they need to change a tire. They're not hoping they need it, but they have it anyway.
