@izzythepush,
Sorry I been around guns for most of my life and I am from a family that have guns in it for many generations.
Guns are not cans of gasoline and guns like fire extinguishers are useful devices that offer protection during the time lag between calling 911 and help arriving.
Unless you have security personnels living with you your life and your family lives could depend on you dealing with a threat yourself, just like your life and family lives could depend on your ability to deal with a fire yourself using that fire extinguisher.
