I think many people will give you more credence if you assure them of their right to defend themselves.  There's an oft repeated saying on the right regarding gun ownership, "if someone is trying to take away your gun it's because they plan to do something you'd shoot them for."  While I cringe a bit at the sentiment expressed, it's not inherently wrong.  Any person who is willing to allow you a weapon of deadly force isn't planning on curtailing your liberty in a substantial fashion.  Of course, the inverse can be equally true.


Or maybe is just gives a person piece of mind to know they have the means to defend themselves?  I don't have homeowners insurance because I hope my house burns down, but I do feel more comfortable knowing I have it in case it does.

All I'm saying is that where I come from a lot of people aren't doing very well because of systematic changes that have taken place over the past few decades, meanwhile they are comforted that they have guns to protecting them from people taking stuff from them.  It just seems like a bit of a hollow peace to have, really.  If someone tries to take my $250 television I can shoot him dead.  Completely gut the power and viability of the working man?  Ehh fine, as long as I can shoot someone who would take my TV.

Like you said, it's peace of mind.  And being a broken down laid off or disabled relic of the industrial age gives you plenty of time to be on the lookout for some thug who might steal your last tenner, eh?
