<div>It didn't say he was. If he did, though, I'd want to be able to protect myself if he ran across me in a home he thought was empty and he got it through his head that I had to die because I'd seen his face. Or maybe he's desperate, and now he's willing to try hitting a house that is occupied but looks like he could rob it regardless.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's a tool of preparedness. I'd rather not assume that he's harmless if he's breaking into houses and robbing them. If my assumption is wrong, I could die. I'd rather not throw away my chance at survival because "OMG! Guns are bad!"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It doesn't mean, by the way, that I'd just shoot this guy for breaking into my house. But a loaded weapon is a good deterrent, and if it turns out my life is at stake, I'd rather have a gun than a shoe I could throw at him, or whatever I happened to have at hand.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This isn't rocket science. Be prepared. It's the good old Boy Scout motto. I also have a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher.</div>

<div>What's paranoid about locking up when you're out and being ready to defend yourself when you're at home when there is a known burglar in the area? Being prepared is not the same thing as being paranoid. If someone is crazy enough to break into your home while you are there, you can go ahead and classify that as a situation fraught with danger, in which case having some means to protect yourself might be called for. There are plenty of reasonable scenarios where a would-be burglar happens upon a member of the household when he thought the place was empty that could end up very badly for the person he stumbled upon. If the burglar knew you were at home and invaded the home anyway, then you've definitely got a problem if you are happily unarmed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Better to have that gun when you need it than not. If guns frighten you, which I find hard to believe because of your military background, then at least pick up a good aluminum baseball bat.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you think I'm paranoid because I keep a set of jumper cables in my trunk in case my battery dies and I need a jump from a kind stranger? Are you one of those people that joyously flit from situation to situation relying on the gods to keep you out of trouble?</div>
