Tell that to a lone person of an oppressed minority who has to walk alone at night.
What, so someone physically threatens us because of our immutable traits and we're just going to take a gun out, risk having the entire neighborhood see us as the perpetrator and put ourselves under massive risk?
If I'm already under massive risk, and like I said, alone, then yes I would want whatever advantage I could possibly have to defend myself from harm. That's not consumerism.
Community defense would obviously be ideal. Not all of us have the benefit of being part of any community.
