I see this reasoning... but again, still don't find owning a gun as an excuse.
I am handy with an aluminum bat. Is keeping a bat behind my door illogical? I lived in a quiet neighborhood, until one year houses, cars, garages, everything was getting broken into, robbed, vandalized...
The fact that statistics say one is safe doesn't change the fact that outliers occur. With people, you often see one bad thing leads to another. Why? Because people being nice does not get noticed
