Thanks for the enlightening discussion! I still think it would be better to try anything but guns to try and protect against guns... Yet you made me understand that the situation is to far gone to just take a chance and go defenseless!

I mean, my next door neighbor is the closest to a "methhead" in the neighborhood, but he's only a violent alcoholic and never displayed aggression towards strangers... He's nice and shares his free run eggs with us, so I don't fear for my life living next door!

It's a chicken and egg problem, but your neighbor may not come at you with his gun if he didn't feel threatened by the one he fears you own! From his perspective, don't go knocking at the door of someone who might point a gun at you without bringing your own...

Imagine a defensive tool which would make you feel safe without making people around you scared of you!

Take care!
