Nope.

Where do you all live that you would live in this kind of fear?

The World. It's a dangerous place. I live in a bit known as Bumfuck Dipshit Appalachia. Lotsa meth-headed White Trash, with more recently a smattering of MS-13 and Latin Kings thrown in for fun. Besides which, my decision to be armed is no more a reaction to fear than is my decision to keep a fire-extinguisher in my car. Better to have and not need, after all...

I can help you with that. No woman has any business being unarmed.

Why not just have some pepper spray?

Because I don't feel inclined to trust my life to a tin of seasoning which frequently
doesn't work thanks to incidental, accidental, or intentional prior exposure, PCP use, drunkenness, etc, which is easily fired at onesself under stress (not so with a pistol), and which has an expiration date. As Calvin once so wisely put it; "never take chances on a product which prints the date you might expire." Besides all this, someone who breaks into my home while I'm in it is posing a serious threat, and has no good reason to continue breathing my air.

ME. Had somebody try to break into my house several years ago while I and my then-girlfriend were upstairs. The dog scared him away, but Step #2 was the Mossberg 12ga. If the dog hadn't been there, the 12ga would have been Step #1.
