Which is totally reasonable considering that white males, particularly over the age of 35 who are not in high risk occupations have an infinitesimal chance of being involved in a violent crime, particularly a violent crime committed by a stranger, which I find more than a bit ironic since most of the folks arming themselves to the teeth are white males over 35 who for the most part live in the suburbs.
I fit your demographic to a T. When that infinitesimal chance does happen, I want the odds in my favor by a large margin.
There is also an infinitesimal chance my house will burn down but I still have smoke alarms tied to my home security system and carry insurance.
No, because I prefer a good ol' fashioned fist fight instead.
That's great unless there are a bunch of bad guys or they have weapons of some kind. Please don't buy into the Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan school of thought. It can get you hurt or killed. I'm not saying a gun is the only answer but it beats any other form of self defence. Don't bring fists to a knife fight and don't bring a knife to a gun fight .

That'd be great if the the criminal element felt the same way. As it is, the sociopaths amongst us usually don't offer that option before they rob, rape, kill, etc.

I'm not opposed to you owning, carrying or sleeping with a fire arm. The only thing that I find objectionable is the over wrought arguments that I read defending that right.
By the way your chances of experiencing a house fire are 5 times the chance that you will be the victim of a violent crime. Also, fire alarms and insurance are obligatory as a part of most folks mortgages. Just say'n.
