We've got eight guns total but they're all in locked storage except for one. The only gun we have for self defense is a Mosberg 12g because of the theater of racking it and my poor aiming skills.
Before I was married I lived on the very wrong side of the tracks. I found the 12g was a fine deterrent when I was home, but I worked nights so I still got robbed a few times until I upwardly mobilized myself out of that zip code.
Nowadays I rely more being on the 7th floor of a mid rise with lobby security.
