Damn, I feel sorry for you paranoid types. Home is where to be safe and relaxed, I don't get the pure obsession with having a loaded weapon at my side at all times. Statistically, that gun is more likely to harm yourselves or a loved one. If you feel that unsafe move, I'm sure you can find a place where you can truly rest easily.
And I'm not anti gun by any means. Don't own one now, no reason to, plus with the ambiguity of the law, I feel no reason to complicate my life anymore than necessary. Plus stuff is just stuff, steal it (minus my girls of course), I have insurance, and back ups of everything important off site.
When the law does become more clear, I'm certainly going to get myself a .357/.38 Patrolman, I truly enjoy that revolver
