Maybe you need a gun to feel manly, but I'm far from defenseless, buddy
Really? with what your hands? Buuuaaahahahahahaha
I bet you've never even had a gun to your head before, have you? I have. Guess what won't save you from that? A holstered weapon.
Guess what else? Real gun violence isn't like the movies, or a Western. You don't walk six paces, turn around and shoot. If someone wants to kill you, you'll probably never even see it coming.
The only time a gun might save you is in a home invasion, where you already know there is an invader. And I think keeping a gun in the home is fine. Otherwise, you should probably leave things to the police.
