Well I have known lots of people who have never needed one and neither have I. Heck I don't know anyone who has used one for defense. I'm really not sure why so many people think they need one. You are far more likely to be accidently shot than murdered with a gun. A study showed you are far more likely to be shot if you carry a gun. Stop being so paranoid and scared.
Yeah..well, that's all quite vague.."a study showed..."..I've seen THAT before..LMAO
Like I said, if you are ever in a situation where you need to defend yourself, I hope you remember all the people you know who never used a gun for self defense..I'm sure that will give you a feeling of moral superiority as the criminals beat the shit out of you....or rape/rob/carjack your wife/sister/mother/grandmother/daughter....
Look, I've never used a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in my house....but I still keep 2 handy.
Here you go.

So because of all those things that are very unlikely to happen I should have a gun? Even though you are far more likely to be accidentally shot than ever need a gun for those reasons I should carry a gun? Even though carrying a gun makes you more likely to be shot?
How many times have people been killed by accidental fire extinguisher?
When that Vegas couple shot those cops and then went to the Walmart the only guy they killed was the armed guy. Having a gun isn't always a good thing.
Whatever, brain...you're right everyone else is wrong.
I hope you remember what you said here if you or a family member ever get attacked by criminals.
Who is everyone? I'm going on statistics and studies. Sorry but I won't be scared into anything especially when I have the statistics on my side. I suggest you also stop being so scared and paranoid.
