or
iv'e noticed i get alot of folks that had something "scary" happen to them or even a neighbor..(ie..someone was robbed,someone knocking on the door late,etc..)
i always tell them.."it's like a spare tire. i'd rather have it & not need it,then need it & not have it." & "just because it(gun or spare tire) have it doesnt mean i go around hoping i get a flat"
