You could say the framers of the US Constitution were not rational, but
that ignores the reason arms are permitted in the US.
The simple reason is, the government cannot be trusted.

A militia is a body of citizens trained for military service, distinct
from a professional army, serving as a reserve force for local defense
or emergencies.
The people in the US have guns, lots of them and other defenses too.The simple reason is, the government cannot be trusted.
And you believe that you can defend yourself against rogue government

Just let the federal government try and take away gun ownership and see

In the US, you have the right to arm yourself for your self defense and
in some states, you have the right to stand your ground. YMMV.
That does not mean that carrying a gun is a rational decision.

Here are some general rules for safety at home in a rural setting like

Maybe your attitudes are not as widespread as you imagine.
If you live in an apartment building in the city, a condo or a town
house, there may be additional security measures, such as:
1. Security card to enter property
2. Fingerprint readers
3. Facial recognition
4. Pass keys or codes
5. Onsite management
6. Neighborhood watch
7. Local police on patrol
I sure hope not.
I sure hope you are protected. If you hear or see anything suspicious
you can always call your landlord on your land line!

I can definitely testify that you are 100% wrong about canada.
Times have changed in Portland - even hippies now lock their doors.
In fact, when I left oregon, they did not think like that either.
If that day comes to portland, I'm sure my sister will let me know.
In California now it's all about road rage in cars out on the highway -When I lived in calif they didn't think like that.
that's when the pepper spray comes in handy!
Raging people hang their heads outside the window so you can spray
them?
If you live in an apartment building in the city, a condo or a townMaybe your attitudes are not as widespread as you imagine.
house, there may be additional security measures, such as:
1. Security card to enter property
2. Fingerprint readers
3. Facial recognition
4. Pass keys or codes
5. Onsite management
6. Neighborhood watch
7. Local police on patrol
I sure hope you are protected. If you hear or see anything suspicious
I sure hope not.
you can always call your landlord on your land line!
And straight jackets for people who think they need protection from
me.
