Reply To: Protecting ourselves

Let me try to understand what point you are trying to make-
a. your store was shot out because you own a gun (your gun went off accidentally and shot thru the window?)
or
b. your store was shot out despite the fact that you own a gun (the gun did not actually prevent the crime)
or
c. Your store was shot out but you were able to prevent a robbery or bodily harm because you own a gun
d. none of the above, but you are scared stiff because your store was shot out, and the gun gives you a sense of security.
