Or, you could get your gun license, move to an open carry state, and do your best to NOT be a victim.

In my opinion, it makes the situation worse. Many of my family and friends wouldn't feel comfortable with me having a gun. I'm easily frustrated and over react to things. Plus, I wouldn't trust a stranger with a gun; I don't know what they're going to do with it. I feel like it's unfair for me to make other members of society as uncomfortable as they would make me, so I would never have one anyway.

I still have some hope; I don't feel like my life is in danger, and still often say "What are the odds...", but what I said earlier is just a little terrifying.

That's why the "Mental Evaluation" is a necessity for getting a license for the legal purchase of a firearm.

You may not be able to purchase one based on those tendencies.

Guy tried to rob my house in Texas. AR waved him off pretty easy.

Damn right.

Fear is what empowers the criminal mind. That and them knowing who the weak and easy are. Fuck that... everyone knows my family packs plenty of heat.

Wow a like mind. I just put out a warning on my facebook telling my friends to be careful that day and the and the day before. You should do the same.

Don't worry, my pal Smith and Wesson will be hanging around.

My main thing is I want to protect my friends and family from the cultists loony fucks. I wish you the best of luck in case you need be in the unfortunate chance need to use a weapon to put a nut case down.
