10. It's all about assessing risk

Really what it's all about is not buying the fear mongering that's about selling guns. Because the guns have to lie around in your house unsecured every single day to be worth anything, all in the very off chance that they might be of use of self defense. What are the odds someone will actually invade your home? The risk is likely inflated in your mimd by watching the evening news, as well as those pushing an agenda repeatedly posting stories. In lying around unsecured, they will be much more likely to end up becoming an unfortunate tragic accident if anything happens at all. Not worth the risk. Things like pools are also require risk assesment. Everything does. Driving to work every day. But there are tradeoffs. Not all risks are weighted the same. You can't wrap up everyone in a bubble. But not all risks are worth taking.
