People who feel the need to carry a gun around are weak and pitiful.

At least I'm not so afraid when I leave my home that I feel the need to carry a firearm.

Ya know, I was once like you.. I was young and strong and I didn't fear anyone. Now I'm older and I can't defend myself with my hands anymore. If I hit someone, it does more damage to my hand than it does to my attacker. So am I to just be victimized for my age? I don't live in fear of the shadows, but I'm a realist. I am vulnerable and I know it. I will carry my firearm and I really don't care what you or anyone else thinks. I will not be a victim.

And as soon as you hear a bump in the night you'll be speed dialing 911 to call one of those weak and pitiful people to come save you.

Or they might realize that it was just a bump in the night and that there isn't some boogeyman out to get them at every turn and will probably get struck by lightening before they ever need somebody with a gun.
