There are advantages to owning a gun as well.
In the event we were ever robbed (knock on wood and God forbid) whoever was stupid enough to come to our home wouldn't be leaving on their own. We've both taken safety courses and target shoot for fun, I'm a good shot, but the man of the house is dead on. Add our babies to the mix and I know for a fact they wouldn't make it back out the door with out a limp or a paramedic.
