Some people will feel less fear in their daily life if they carry a gun, even if they don’t know a goddamn thing about using it. (But knowing how to draw and shoot quickly and accurately, if required, is absolutely desirable if you’re going to choose to carry a firearm!) But it’s certainly not a panacea.
In the case of soldiers in WWI charging up out of trenches, often times the did it because they knew they would be shot if they didn’t, and they’d probably be shot if they did. So your odds were slightly better if you followed orders.
