Tennessee, sure. But in California, different. Guns must have a trigger lock, and or be locked in a safe. There's a California law that if kids are present in the house, guns must not be available to the kids - must be locked in a safe. Since I have kids around, my guns are locked up to protect myself legally. I can open a gun safe at my bedside with my handprint toggling a few fingers, but it's a delaying factor. P.S. I have video cameras and an alarm system also, but I trust the guns more as a deterrent in California.
My 10 year old granddaughter bagged her first buck...
when she was 8...
Congratulations! She must be amazing! Here, you can’t even be seen with a gun lest you be charged with brandishing. Gov Moonbeam Brown signed a law last year, no more open carry. Totally unconstitutional and being challenged. I have family in Tennessee. Wife won’t let us leave California due to family, responsible for her elderly mom nearby and we babysit grandkids. But someday… Anyway, be very proud of your granddaughter.
I’d like to add a sixth to your list.
Last I looked, the cost associated with all of Mr. Sicilianos’ suggested intrusion aversion equipment would easily rival that of a few good firearms and enough ammunition to last a while.
Which is not to mention the difference in speed between a recording, a police response ( or lack thereof) and a weapon on hand.
Better to have and not need...
The libs want you to believe that the government is going to keep you safe with the police; therefore, there is no need for you to protect yourself because the police will do that for you.
Sadly, people believe this obvious myth because the media constantly reinforces that myth. If the police could protect everyone, then no one should be murdered, assaulted, or raped. However, that is patently false. Once you realize that the police cannot protect you personally, you are forced to acknowledge the fact that you have to accept the responsibility for protecting yourself.
