Hey I'm not judging you. Just curious as to why. We know the bad guys have them, you by your history know guns. I equat it to the same reason we buy car insurance or homeowners. Or like I tell my friends why I have always had 4 wheel drive in every truck I have owed. You may never need it, but if you do it's there. At the time you need it is not the time to be without it. I do believe just as strongly in gun safety,especially around minors.
