There are two factors that cause me to keep my guard down. One: my mom is vehemently anti-gun, meaning that she only knows about one of the five I have. The other is that I live in the second safest neighborhood in 2006's second safest town in the US. There has never been a home invasion in the neighborhood (although the new neighbors got into a fight that ended with a SWAT raid when he took her hostage in the bedroom after arguing over building permits.) My chances of needing a gun at home might be slightly lower if I lived on a deserted island, but not by much. I doubt that the wild coyotes will be enough of a problem to warrant shooting them, but that's really the biggest threat. I still keep it in mind because two summers ago, two coyotes were standing on the edge of a 15' mini cliff in my neighbor's back yard, staring at her through the screened-in porch until she went inside.

I still keep an AK by my bedside, a shotgun in my car, and the rest downstairs.

I vaguely remember you saying that you have to be heavily armed and extra prepared for home invasions because your wife testified against a white supremacist group, leading to your house being firebombed. That was you, right?
