Allow me a sentimental moment. I grew up in a time and place where you never locked your doors, left your keys in the car, took your deer rifle to school and Mom never worried unless you were late for supper.Guns were for hunting or targets, not home defense. Home defense, tactical anything was not in the lexicon.
Flash forward 50 years and today I live in a gated community guarded 24/7, car is equipped with anti-theft everything, have a monitored alarm system,got my CCL, keep gun in the nightstand and the car, and the Grandkids can't go outside without adult supervision because according to the CPS web-site we have six predators living within a two mile radius.
Do I feel safe? It's all relative to the times and your enviroment. I tnink over reaction to perceived threats is as dangerous as the threat itself. Raw statistics, not put in perspective, prove nothing.
The chance of any of us experiencing a real threat is very low, about the same as you winning the Lotto!
