3. There is no "gun free area" in areas with adequate police protection.

It's interesting that there is really no such thing as "adequate police protection". The police cannot prevent most crimes and will never prevent most crimes, nor be there to stop violence immediately in most cases (be it a mugging, a fistfight, or the rare mass shooting).

The only thing that could even approach being "adequate protection", would be for a large percentage of responsible adults to carry guns. Even then, some incidents would slip through the cracks, but a mugging or a mass shooting would have a much better chance of being stopped (or better yet, deterred).
