    Acknowledging you live in a dangerous situation and taking steps to improve your chances if something should happen isn’t living in fear. Nor is it cowardly.

      Buying a gun as a civilian, for the purposes of defense, is inherently an act of fear. That’s inarguable.

        If you think you’ll have a reasonable chance of needing it that isn’t fear. It’s just being prepared. If you are in a situation where a gun is warranted there really aren’t better alternatives.
