22. I'll bet he now wishes he never bought the gun.

As for security that will now be taken care of by the prison guards.

Without a gun he would have called the police and checked his doors and windows. With a gun he is transformed into Rambo.

It seems to me it's like setting a bottle in front of an alcoholic or sweets in front of a dieter. No bottle no drink. No sweets no mouthful. No gun no shots fired.
