In your home, I think having a gun is a great idea. In your car as well.
The only people in THIS city who carry guns are carrying them to cause problems. I think you are justifying something unjustifiable.
Guns are an OFFENSIVE WEAPON. Not defensive.

However, when does carrying one around during your day to day go from being an act of preparedness to being an elicit invitation for trouble to find you?

But you said "I'm not a cowboy," then what are you? I mean, lets say someone pulls a gun on you. In your self defense, you, the better marksmen, win the gunfight. The guy dies. Now it is your word against the evidence. Who says you don't spend life in jail?

Guns are an OFFENSIVE WEAPON. Not defensive. If you want to argue being proactive, then buy your entire family dragon skin and make them wear it 24/7.. Maybe that's not manly enough?
