Never mention guns
Every so often one one of the “major” broadcast networks airs a report on home safety. A security expert will go on and on about locking doors and windows, installing alarm systems, using motion detectors and a bunch of other things that a home owner might do including, of course, calling the police. But what about that useful, portable, concealable, reusable and affordable equalizer and tool of last resort? In fact, when have we ever been told not to rely on the state for anything?
They’re not the only ones. Go to ready.gov, FEMA’s disaster preparedness website. Search for gun or firearm.
Nothing there about having a gun.

That’s funny.
When I think of home safety, my guns are the first (read: only) thing which come to mind.
