I can't do the poll on my phone, but I live in TX and own a gun. My husband has several, mostly inherited. I took the CHL course and have carried my gun, but not often.
Recently, my husband was out of town and someone attempted to get in our front door at 1:30 am, setting off our alarm. I was so glad I had my gun. The police came, because I wasn't sure why the alarm had gone off. They found marks on the door like they were trying to get in. I told them I had a gun and three dogs in the house and they said "Good!" We've been having some home invasions in our city, unfortunately. We are thinking we should get cameras. A nearby man
had someone ring his doorbell at 1:30 am recently, and when he looked on his phone, he could see it was a young man holding a gun.

That's scary! I can certainly understand why you feel safer having a gun and knowing how to use it.
