That is a total strawman argument buddy.

The argument "gun ownership serves as a deterrent of crime and has been known to spoil criminal endeavours, therefore we should allow citizens to carry guns" has never been about vigilantism. Vigilante behavior is actually a quick way to get yourself locked up and/or your permit revoked.

There is a BIG difference between defending your home with a firearm, and looking up a thief and paying him a visit with a gun in hand. Likewise there is a BIG difference between keeping attackers out of your servers and collecting thorough forensic evidence, and going all out guns blazing with your 0day collection trying to outhack the hacker.
