Pointing out the obvious: a lotta good a gun will do you if your doors are unlocked. Proper physical security measures foil more crimes than guns.

And you're correct. According to the UCR and NCVS, most burglaries occur during the day when the home is unoccupied. Easy pickings that way.

I said, "The opposite argument would be that since you're most likely in a suburban home in the northwest United States, you could probably do without concealed carry completely when in residential areas." And that translates to avoiding concealed carry by keeping firearms at the houses you frequent. My family and most of my friends have home defense guns readily available. You could keep a dedicated vehicle gun (beater piece) hidden / locked-container'd in your car, too. You don't need to keep it on your hip to foil a home invasion. If you do, you're probably not living in the US anymore.

...

I like how whitey-white was used repeatedly.
