Actually, I could argue the case for having the permit and a firearm 'just in case'.

But it wouldn't be a casual strategy. You'd have to include practice, training the family in firearm use, having a backup firearm and just using the firearm in the house.

Though on the surface it would look like a person who wasn't fearful enough, wasn't aware enough of the dangers 'out there', in reality it could just be a transparent, but effective and well-thought out regime. It would include basic fortifications, doors, windows, alarm, motion-detection lights, taking care entering and leaving (where the danger of not carrying on the person is most evident).

I think statistically, proper use of a firearm to defend the home where you can't retreat, can't escape easily, need to protect (sleeping kids) is where a majority of people could bolster their SD plans with minimal difficulty and not feel they live in a dangerous society. If we listen to our 'senses' we know how to avoid danger out there early enough to avoid them in many cases.

I feel you'd have a self-defense solution for 99.9% of events you might expect to encounter.

Where it breaks down is where society is weakest. The young, the weak, the females, elderly and disabled need to be allowed and enabled to have protection out in the world where they are the first targets.

FWIW

This Markel guy is way too indoctrinated. Look at what it did to that McX person.

That McX "person" is known personally to members here. Many call him friend.

Which is a hell of a lot more than we can say for you. So how about you mind your own business.

"I see by looking at your previous posts you like to try to irritate people with your smarmy posts. I used to have a dog named Odd Todd that liked to try to irritate me but I never let him. Worst dog I ever had."

"Its like duh, I knew the mcx person was a poster here once upon a time. This is a public forum and anything posted that I read is my business and I will not be lectured by the likes of you."

No drama. Same old piece of sh*t troll Logables posting under his 15 or so handle. He will be banned in a few days only to resurface yet again.

:uhoh: What a twisted and pathetic soul.

"From one piece of sh*t to another piece of sh*t that being you, looking back on your posts you have contributed absolutely NOTHING here except sh*t. Youtube and your other smarta$$ junk equals NOTHING."

"So you say I am twisted and pathetic, your opinion. PDF files can be a bitch, just MY OPINION."

"And once again, this dudes claim to fame, posting Youtube music videos that are meaningless and off topic on a firearms forum. You are stalking someone I have never seen on this forum or even heard of. So sweet of you to dedicate a song to someone who may not exist. A bromance in the making, perhaps. This mcx person done swore off carrying a gun so he/she is old news. Better yet no news."

"If you would bother to read, I never said this mcx person was good or bad or anything else. I read a couple posts about his change of lifestyle and why. You tell me to GFYS, you do the same."
