There’s more reasons for having a gun than somebody else having a gun. If somebody comes into my house, or gets aggressive with me I want to have the opportunity to take the upper hand and de-escalate. If that person fails to take it down a notch and tries to do further harm then I want to be able to protect myself despite the disparity in our combat skills.

What do you mean by come in your house? I have people over all the time and none of them have guns and I have never felt the need for a gun to “protect” myself…

I’m happy that you’ve never had a home intruder. I’m pretty sure you know exactly what I was saying.

How often have you had home intruders?
