I live in a great neighborhood, and other than a few small time sellers and pillheads there's nothing much to worry about. I have a DVR and 4 camera system to keep the neighbors daughter (on probation in 3 states) from breaking in, but I don't have to worry about her attacking us.
But the lack of crime isn't reason enough to leave my home, family or myself easy willing victims.
Same goes for conceal carry....I carry a personal safety device most days even though the threat level is basically zero. That's still not a good reason to just fold up and hope trouble doesn't find me.
Nope I like being proactive on personal safety, not because I'm afraid but because it's a chance I don't have to take.
Remember Safety First...
Oh and if you really wonder why folks own firearms just do a google search you'll find a whole internets full of "It will never happen to me types."
