The vast vast majority of the time having a gun in a holster scares off potential trouble. This is what I mean when I say it’s mainly a deterrent.
This answer actually sounds similar to yours.
I trust you more than me on this
May one carry a gun in his pocket or on his belt on Shabbos if there is an eruv? Shemiras Shabbos K'hilchaso (Perek 20, towards the end of ha'arah 28, in the newer versions it may be ha'arah 29) quotes Reb Shlomo Zalman that a gun in a non-war situation is not a kli shemilachto le'isur since it is primarily used for intimidation rather than actually shooting. Is that a sevarah that we can rely on? R' Y. Berkovits wrote: Yes. I would see it as a k'li shemelachto l'issur as even its intimidating properties are based on its ability to kill. Carrying it to make people feel safe would be l'tzorech gufo and mutar
To be honest, I don't understand that. Just because something is nidche before pikuach Nefesh does not change the primary function of the object, it just allows you to disregard it in the case of pikuach Nefesh (or safek pikuach Nefesh).
The pri migadim who says that a milah knife is מלאכתו לאיסור clearly concurs with you. As well as anyone who subscribes to chisaron kis being a מלאכתו לאיסור exclusive and yet applying it to a milah knife.
The next time you get annoyed with a n00b for starting a new thread or asking a question instead of searching, read through this thread. How is anyone supposed to find anything in this place?
To be fair, JS doesn't contain anything useful anyways
If these types of threads were exclusive to JS, you'd have a point.
90+% have a common theme.

Wow only one post and the thread is already off topic!
Some just can't help themselves. We need rules and strict enforcement.
