    See, that’s actually the part that worries me, and I have those friends to. I spend a decent amount of time at the range, and been around “farm guns” plenty.

    But in a situation where I’m defending myself I’m probably NOT grabbing it. I haven’t put in the hours, and every statistic says it’s a drunk neighbor or some stupid kid. You absolutely should not grab a firearm for defense unless you’ve put in the mental work around NOT pulling the trigger, and just being comfortable with one doesn’t cut it.

    You don’t have to look far for stories where someone was lost and pulled into the wrong driveway or the like and got blown away.
