Let us all hope you never do. I will hedge my bets on safety.

Suit yourself.
I don't live in fear of a flat tire, but I carry a spare and a jack.
I don't fear a house fire, but I have insurance and extinguishers.
Perhaps, if I were sitting here helpless, I might be fearful.

Again, suit yourself.
I'm just not as tough as you.
Just because you can fight off multiple
intruders, perhaps armed, not all of us can.

Easy for you to shoot because you wouldn't be able to defend yourself without a gun would you. And not all who break in have guns. Some are just kids not armed
i dont need a gun to defend myself, but it is the most efficient way to defend myself. and if ANYONE is breaking into my house at night, how would i know if they are armed or not? i have plenty of health issues to deal with, i dont need some criminal deciding that my house is a target, i would rather they think of my house as someplace they dont want to be carried out of.

Google ARS 13-419 - this is why people don't break into homes here, if they are smart.

Welcome to the last great free state of Arizona.

We carry guns here.
i too am old and fat, and rather infirm as well. too many health issues i have to deal with.

Why is it not a good idea to have a sign that says "this is a gun free zone",?

do you really want to advertise that there are no possible defense weapons in your house? in fact do you want to advertise that there are defense weapons in your house?
