Check out this goofy picture:
Well, in exactly the same way that the cosmetics industry doesn't sell make-up, they sell "hope", the personal defense industry doesn't sell security, they too sell "hope".
  • Hope I'm home when the bad guys come
  • Hope there aren't too many of them
  • Hope they're not too well armed.
  • Hope they're noisy so that I wake up
  • Hope I can get to the gun
  • Hope I remember to take off the safety
  • Hope my hands aren't shaking too bad to aim.
  • Hope I can hit the broad side of a barn with that hokey stance
  • Hope my wife will think of me like this and not the guy wetting his pants when he stares down the barrel of a gun pointed at him for the first time.
If someone had broken in on my grandparents (as someone once did) they needed to hope they encountered my grandfather and not my grandmother since she was calmer under pressure and was by far the better shot.
