I chalk it up to paranoia
just in case someone is out to get you, you might as well pack some heat. To be on the safe side, for sure. As IMric says "paranoia is a survial trait". As I've been known to say "sometimes paranoia pays off".
Just having guns is a deterant to people to leave you alone. Leave some gun magazines (reading material, not gun clips) in the car, display your NRA sticker on your house and car windows. Let the world know that you are packing heat and even the craziest of crazies will think twice before provoking you. In Missouri, we have a concealed weapon law on the books now. Anyone could potentially be packing heat.
I myself would only use guns if physically provoked or threatened. So written abuse in a forum is not grounds for locking and loading. I am not that crazy. Also I am very forgiving, so nothing to fear from me.
I've had people mess with me, mostly my outside property because they know if they get into my house, they might face the business end of a gun. I've had my car windows smashed, lawn messed with, even someone tried to break into the garage, but never the house. I've dealt with some raging psychopaths before who just don't know when to quit, but I haven't seen or heard from them lately.
Of course the Satanists don't bother me any more ever since they did a background check on me and discovered I had three 6's in my birthdate. I just gave them a "Damien Thorn" stare straight out of "The Omen" movies and they ran away. :)
When I lived in Saint Louis city, I had that "Crazy White Boy" look about me that kept the muggers and other thugs away. Mumbling about having no job, no money, no hot water in the apartment and the next person who hassles me will regret it sort of helped. :)

Fluffy, White, boy...
Norm, I am sure you mean well with your posts lately.
I am sure you believe you could and will whoop some ass...
I am also sure... I'd peg you long before you could even realize it was me.
I am sure, you really need to ... sell any weapons you have, please.
I am extremly sure guns in your hands or your kids... even play ones... BAD idea.
This ain't worth the time it took to write. But heed it.

Relax
don't worry about me, I can handle myself. I've gotten better since I've been in the hospital.
A man has to protect his family somehow.
Maybe you could peg me before I'd realize it was you. But do you have any reason to? Over posts made on IWETHEY? If so, you are the one that needs to sell his weapons not me.
Don't even try to take away my rights, the NRA is on my side.

Re: I chalk it up to paranoia
Check out the one-year stock chart on this company (symbol TASR):

Amazing....and by the way, they do have a line of consumer products.

Taser, a good product.
Problem is if you Taser the perp, they can come back and sue you, or just wait to get out of jail and return to your house later with friends or guns.
Good product, as long as they aren't wearing body armor or padding. Still not something I would want a child to have access to.
Could also use a Tranq Gun and wait until the Police arrive.

Remember this company?
Shares of Taser International closed at a record high Wednesday after the maker of stun guns declared a three-for-one stock split.
The shares rose $14.50, or 14.3 percent, to $115.75, in their heaviest trading since Taser went public three years ago.
Wish I had bought some when I posted my first message! Oh, well....

Let's go with this
Clearly, there are a lot more security people who need non-lethal force items.
Let's invest in Pat Boone records.

I prefer...

Imagine "O come all ye faithful," meowed, on repeat, for six hours straight.
I have a blue sign on my door. It says "If this sign is red, you're moving too fast."
