Let’s also keep in mind your average gun owner is not owning/carrying to stop a mass shooting. They are using them for self defense, especially night stand guns. If someone’s breaking into my house, I’m not calling the police and hiding hoping they get there in time. I’m defending my family myself, at that exact moment
But that’s kind of a problem. I don’t see how your weapon can be useful for self defense in this case while also being properly secured by a responsible owner. Maybe pairing it with an alarm system or dog can get you enough warning to do both
They make quick access safes which can be mounted on or near your bed, so instead of leaving a loaded gun in a drawer where anyone can get it, it’s in a locked safe with either a fingerprint or button combo unlock. The safe can be opened in seconds by someone who knows what they are doing but would otherwise keep the loaded weapon secure.
That’s not the point. If they are already standing over you then you would be dead before you wake up. But we should never act like that is the only scenario possible

It’s a word that in this moment means “you and I”

If you aren’t willing to follow the societal rules of conversation then there is no point in having one.
usually home intruders don’t just walk into the bedrooms of the house while stealing shit. So that probably.
