I'm not sure where in the world you could move to and be safe at all times, Dave. There are no safe places; that much is a simple fact. Bad things happen at random to good people in good neighborhoods.

I would be willing to bet that everything you own is insured in some way. Why not your life and the lives of your loved ones? I don't mean the kind of life insurance that pays when you die, but rather the kind that may keep you and/or your loved ones from dying.

Don't believe the anti-gun rhetoric about kids and loaded guns in the same house. Myself, and most of my childhood friends grew up in homes with loaded guns. My two sons have grown up in a home with loaded guns. The ones meant to protect the occupants of said home are never unloaded, never locked up. Everyone is also expected to know how to use them, sort of like a fire extinguisher hanging in the kitchen and garage. There is no "forbidden fruit" fascination with them; they can be taken out and examined at any time. They are like any other tool in the house. There are certainly equally deadly (if missused) items scattered throughout every home in America that we all deal with and take for granted every day. There has simply been far too much emotion, panic, and missinformation brandied about concerning guns by folks who are unfamiliar with and affraid of them. Don't let these folks sway you into making uninformed, unreasonable decisions about something as important as your family's safety.
