Don't try to make my choice for me, and we have a deal.
If you seriously think that you can talk a druggie with a knife out of injuring you or your family, pleasant dreams. People who don't like guns shouldn't own them, as they probably will misuse them if forced into a situation such as the one I suggested above.

I asked a simple question, there's no need to jump to ridiculous conclusions. If you, oh benevolent one, have absolutely no need to ever defend yourself against anyone with the use of violence, I am really interested in finding out how you would do so. If your stance is just an idealistic one, then I sincerely hope you are never in a life-threatening situation which requires a violent method of self-defense.

Newsflash. Police presence/protection is not assured anywhere. Response times are generally horrible, as are police-to-citizen ratios. As has been stated many times, police do not generally stop crime, they investigate it after the fact.
