It's a shame you don't actually answer anything directed at you, and only look for one thing to constantly jump on, negating everything else said of relevance.
Canadian statistics don't have anything to do with those situations and are therefore irrelevant to my query.

Typhoid, I answered everything of relevance. I asked those scenarios after a lot of thought and reflection after hearing what you and Dyflon had to say. I wanted to workout realistic scenarios that would help me make the best, moral decisions if the unthinkable should ever happen, and I honestly asked for your opinion on them. I already stated I was buying a gun, I wanted to be sure my plans to operate it were within reason. As for "that will never happen" I did address them, and in fact that was one of the reasons why I made my scenarios so specific.

As for the "move somewhere else" argument, well that is an argument from a point of affluence and not necessity. There are plenty of people who live in statistically dangerous areas that cannot move, and in fact I would say the majority of people who live in dangerous areas can't afford to move (why would they be there to begin with?). In fact, I am one of those people who can't afford to move. I'm upside down on my house right now due to market drop. I couldn't sell my house if I did live in a violent area (I don't, but I live next to a violent area).

But again, moving was never a part of those scenarios. They were located in any house, anywhere. My specificity was meant to prevent the irrelevant alternatives you insisted on offering.
