[QUOTE="Remington, post: 2102585, member: 845"] My point exactly. I was talking with a guy at work about home invasions and violent crime and he said "he chooses not to live in the mindset of fear"....I looked at him odd and said "I choose not to live in denial" So it got me thinking....thus my post. My curiosity was peaked in these conversations as to why some people choose not prepare for violent crime or home invasions, but they will for tornados or other type situations which may have a lower probability of happening. Is it the fear of firearms? Is it the belief that they have to use a firearm to protect themselves. I just find it odd. AT LEAST DO SOEMTHING.....and hiding in a corner doesn't count. There are many non-lethal methods for protecting one's self, but doing nothing will save nothing. Now the hard core anti-gun goobers are a lost cause, probably no chance of convincing them, but I was hoping some statistics like I mentioned above would strengthen my debate in these types of conversations for people who want to have honest dialogue.
