Isn't there some mind boggling statistic about people being shot with their own firearm ?

I just don't think you having a gun would make a difference. Body armour sounds like a wiser decision.

And if I start meeting people at firearms training classes and the firing range...
Well it's no longer one gun in the hands of one man.
I'm not the police. I LIVE here. I have thirty years of history here. I've worked with the locals. I've eaten with them. I've watched the neighborhood change. I can ask questions, I can find out what's going on, I can take pictures, and I can send it all to the police.
