I disagree. A single mom with her two year old in her arms crouched next to her bed without a gun is at the mercy of a BG. The same scenario, Gun in her hand. . . I think she is safer.
Out on the street, you are chased to a place of hiding, you have no weapon, they pull you out and beat the livin' sh-- out of you or worse.
The same scenario, you have a gun, you can't hit the broad side of a barn but just the sight of the gun chases the BGs off.
I think you are safer with the gun.
