I guess it's how you think of it. Did you really get it to protect your home, or to protect your family? We can all get another home, and more stuff.
I live in a super nice, brand new neighborhood on the far edge of town, and I've gotten my car robbed twice so far. Dumb kids, I figure.
My home surveillance is Smith and Wesson. I'm a very light sleeper, and I count on it.
I woke up from a dead sleep a few nights ago and got the gun because of a loud bang. I didn't find anything. Next morning it turned out that the peanut butter fell off the shelf in the pantry. So now I'm getting ribbed about doing a naked 9mm full out assault on a jar of peanut butter.
Way I figure, it beats waking up dead.
