It's human nature to become alarmed about an immediate threat and then gradually return to a state of complacency. Some people get a CHL and/or buy a weapon because of a threat to themselves or someone close. Then the threat recedes and they don't worry about it any more than shark bites.

My guess is that is a pretty comprehensive list, with complacency being the primary reason. They only probably think of carrying a gun when they go to make the business bank deposit, or a nighttime trip to the ATM... stuff like that.
