I understand I don't feel safe just because I can (but don't) pack a gun.
Fact is more people are killed with their own weapons than not. My idea of
safety is to keep my eyes open and my head up. Walk and park in well
lighted areas, and not where my car can be hemmed in between SUV's and vans.
If someone is going to break into my house there's not much I can do about
it other than an alarm system and to have a planned escape route. Guns?
Nope, sorry, won't happen. Armed doesn't mean safe.
