IMHO.
Dealing exclusively with criminals and victims for a living these past 17 years I can safely say this is not the case. Honestly I have a hard time finding the logic in your assertion. I think you can absolutely reduce your chances of being a victim of crime by being smart about where and when you go places or do things but that only mitigates, it doesn't eliminate. I had a neighbor get a gun stuck in his face when guys robbed the Subway he had stopped at to get a sandwich around 3 PM on a weekday. Like I said, you don't get to pick and choose when you're going to be victimized.
I own many guns. I have ammunition that I hope never to use as it is specifically designed to ensure the target does not survive (since you probably don't know there are a lot of different types of bullets). I own them because I may have to use them, not because I ever want to. I do this knowing the chance I'll ever use them is small. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
