The difference from using a weapons from protecetion and instead of just having one is that, the people who have weapons are allowed to for certain political reasons like let's say that you were a guard of a king or a place or thing, or a wood cutter that cuts up for fire i'm not sure and a reason would because that some peiople would be using it for violence and just to kill others for their reasons or just have one which is not goode... but as of now this very day the law country has came up with a law where you have to carry a weapon but only if you have a license according to the **SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED SATES CONSITUTION**.
