Yeah, I regretted framing my post about guns, it sidetracks the larger issue raised in the OP.
Back to the OP:

(1) How will you defend your person, property, and family, if needed?
|
I find the "if needed" qualifier to be odd. Don't people do things every day to protect themselves and family?
I do many of the things outlined in the OP. I live in a neighborhood with a very low crime rate. I have a dog. I know my neighbors. I live very close to a number of police officers. I have deadbolts on my doors, etc
I do not own a gun.

(2) How should other people defend their person, property and family, if needed?

I have no business telling others how to defend themselves.

Do you do everything in your power to avoid the scenario above? Everything? Presumably, you have other things in your life other than protecting yourself. Engaging in these other activities likely increase your chances of that scenario occurring.
