In your situation, you may feel safer with a gun. I support the right of folks to own a gun.
That being said, I have never owned a gun!
When I was about seven years old, I found a gun in my dad's desk drawer, pointed at my grandfather and tried to pull the trigger. Luckily, my father had the safety on and I didn't know how to release it. I could have possibly killed my grandfather!
This fear has stuck with me my entire life. I read somewhere that a big majority of the time, a home gun is used on another family member instead of an intruder.
