there are risks in everything a person does. the chances of you coming out alive in any encounter with someone who has a gun increases exponentially if you have your own gun and know how to use it.

This is why we have strict laws governing the roads. Those laws are in place as to best minimize the risks of automobile travel. Are you saying this is a good comparison? I'm now thinking so. We should use gun control to best minimize the deaths by guns. Actually, I mean the Americans should. We have gun control in Canada, which is why our gun-death stats are a mere fraction of what they are in the U.S.
And if you do work on your house, you should also follow safety guidelines to minimize your risk of death or injury. Use everything as recommended by safety professionals.
Getting into an encounter with someone who has a gun increases exponentially if you don't have adequate gun control.
