do you really need a gun to defend yourself?

Lots of people have guns and according to some statistics mostly the ones who have guns (or any kind of visible devices for self defence) are more probable to get shot by other armed individuals:))! So the more you show you are armed, the more you make yourself a target, and the ones that would otherwise maybe just skip killing you - will now 'have to defend themselves' when they see YOUR GUN:) So think before buying one;-)
