Firearms attacks by small numbers of adversaries are much easier to plan, equip and execute, and thus more likely. A suitable EDC is an appropriate tool for such situations.
It's also worthwhile to note that giving up before engaging is a pretty foolproof way to lose.
Frankly, I'd proffer the border remains open until there is one major mass attack here, then suddenly we'll discover we can in fact, secure the border. But neither party wants to do that right now and stop the gravy train for their respective special interests.
