View submission: Guns and protection
One time a neighbor's dog escaped and got his chain all tangled in the trees on our property. You bet we brought a gun along to handle this furious animal until we figured out what had happened. I also know people who carry because they work deep in bear country.
That said, you might want to look up statistics for your demographic and area for gun safety. Some groups track and publish numbers of times "a good guy with a gun" has prevented or ended a problem. Some groups track and publish things like suicide rates, accident rates, or getting overpowered and shot by your own weapon. It's not straightforward whether owning a gun makes you and your family safer, so do your own math.
There's nothing here!
