    In my experience, there are a lot more people out there who own guns who are kind of afraid of them than you probably think. They’re afraid of everything, that’s why they got a gun in the first place, and once they have it they’re too afraid to actually carry it or train with it. And of course, if the time comes that they actually need to (or feel they need to) use it, they’re as much or more of a danger to themselves or others with that gun as whatever it is they’re feeling threatened by in that moment.

    Luckily, most of the time these paranoid idiots actually live very safe lives, and their gun does no harm sitting somewhere out of sight and out of mind in their home giving them some false sense of security.
