I've only been what I would consider "afraid" of being shot 3 times in my 58 years.
Once by my 70 year old aunt waving her .25 auto around showing everyone she is armed... and by LTC holder at the range...Who had a ND because he failed to check the gun was chambered (he was 1 foot away from me with the muzzle pointed at the ground). I've had several "other" incidences with strangers next to me at indoor ranges... Newbies who had no idea how to even load their firearm let alone control it...
My aunt has passed and I won't go to the range with the LTC Friend ever again.
Only other time that I was ever afraid of a bad guy was when I broke down in Downtown Dallas at midnight and had a homeless guy come over 3 different times wanting money... Unfortunately I wasn't licensed back then.. I pulled a box cutter out of my trunk and had it ready if he came back, which fortunately for me he didn't a 4th time.

Re: wearing Armor
Only when teaching....
I was at the range on Wednesday with a friend who has a fair amount of experience and LTC.. I was still cringing from the next bay over when he had a misfire... That tendency to look at the muzzle when trying to clear was very apparent.. I had to gently tell him to make sure and keep it downrange... He was like OH.. yea... Right.. Sorry.... I was like.. yep.. Only takes 1 time....
