  Did you not have a gun at the time? Or did your ownership of a gun not prevent the theft?

    I wasn’t home…

      Well then aren’t you lucky you had a gun to prevent that theft?

        I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcasm or if you have reading comprehension problems.

        I wasn’t home. There was no possibility for me to prevent this theft, gun or no gun.

        If it’s sarcasm meant to show that things can happen even when armed, no shit. If that is meant to show I shouldn’t have one at all, would the counterfactual (situations in which a theft or assault were stopped or prevented) be sufficient to show one should carry?

  Agreed thieves are terrible.

  Not many better options if you are getting robbed though.

    I’ll opt for stopping it, given the chance.

      You would kill a person for a thing. Sounds like the mindset of an armed violent thug, only you wait for the excuse to unleash your violence.

        You sound like a thief who’s mad.

      So vigilantism then.

        If stopping someone in the act of stealing my shit or trying to harm me is vigilantism, then sure.
