I'm all for allowing people to carry a weapon for self-protection even if myself, I don't choose to.
Gun owners should know that the most likely use for your personal self-protection gun, is that your kid or an adult (includes gun owner) uses it to kill themselves. That's 54% of firearm deaths. About 41% of gun deaths are crimes committed by a gun. Mass shootings, killing of a cheating spouse, crimes, etc. It should be added that victims of violent random gun crime, probably aren't hanging out at their job on a forum talking about mods for their $65K pickup truck. Most of us are probably not hanging out on a street corner, part of a gang, selling dope or part of the population overwhelmingly subjected to those violent gun deaths. About 2% of gun deaths are accidental deaths.
Some statistics indicate that less than 1% of firearm deaths were used in self-protection. Yet somehow most of the world walks around without a gun and not being a victim. Technically it's safer for your lifespan overall to be gunless and possibly get robbed 1x in your life or even your ass kicked. But I get and support the desire to protect yourself and especially your family. We have that right in this country.
I will say, beyond any doubt, as a child that grew up when crime was nearly 3x what it is now in a poor neighborhood in a crappy place, your brain will keep you much safer than a gun ever will.
I myself keep a less than lethal weapon in my console as it's what I'm comfortable with, even though I have a concealed carry permit and a Glock in the gun safe in my nightstand.
Did I miss the best semi-permanent mount for inside the console? Thanks
