...have deadlocks, security screen doors, double pane windows, big dogs, mase, tasers, clubs, knives, axes, swords, and a PLETHORA of other options that don't involve cowering. But it's really inconvenient for people to ignore these options because guns are really hard to excuse outside of some bizarre and unlikely situation involving self defense, such as a violent home invasion.
Most crime in the UK is either petty or drug related.
Oh, I almost forgot alarm system. Did you know that 9 of 10 convicted burglars agreed that they would avoid a house protected by an alarm system?(US Department of Justice, 1999) That's a funny statistic when compared with that which addresses how many would avoid a house protected by a gun, which is decidedly less. But again, these are inconvenient facts when one is trying to excuse being armed just in case.
