I don't think for a moment that you or anyone is deluded, I think you feeling safer is an emotion comfort brought to you by a firearm which may not be the case in fact.
Not nearly as deluded as a person that does not have a firearm feels, and believes they are safe.
Walking down the street or being asleep at home and caught off guard having a gun at the ready might well prove to have the opposite effect of keeping you and yours safe.
I am never off guard on the streets ! And in my home I have devices that warn me if anything enters the building, so again I am never totally off guard.
The responsibility of the lives of my family and myself, are mine, and I take that responsibility seriously.
Least this is what most studies not done by the NRA find.

A very interesting situation, noon, but studies only show what they want to show you. Every year thousands of citizens ward off threats and attacks by merely showing their firearm. And these are rarely reported, as nothing occurred, the criminals prefer unarmed victims, so they fled. Besides, the news rarely reports attempted assaults, nor do the police investigate attempted assaults, as they have little hope of investigating actual physical assaults where injuries do occur.
I have no pity for men that are too afraid to protect and defend there families and homes.
Sincerely,
Bill
