Hey men on here, I wanted to get your thoughts on something - would you own a gun for protection if you had a family with a wife and kids?

I know this is a pretty controversial and sensitive topic, but I'm really curious to hear a range of perspectives. On one hand, I can see the argument for wanting that extra layer of security and the ability to defend your loved ones if something terrible were to happen. But on the other hand, the risks of having a deadly weapon in the house, especially with kids around, also seem really concerning.

What do you all think about this dilemma? Would you feel safer and more protected by having a gun in your home to guard against potential threats? Or do you think the dangers and drawbacks of gun ownership outweigh any potential benefits, especially when you've got a family to think about?

I'm sure there are valid points on both sides of this debate, so I'd really appreciate hearing your honest thoughts and experiences. How would you weigh the pros and cons if you were in that situation? Do you think there are better ways to secure your home and protect your loved ones besides owning a firearm?

For me, I’m thinking I might get one to hold for protection for my future family or even myself, probably before I have a family, because knowing the world we live in nowadays and the current state we’re in, people are crazy and try anything, so we try to be safe, aware, and cautious with our surroundings, especially in our homes. I’m not sure yet.

Bonus question: if you were to own a gun… what kind of gun would you get?

Let me know what you think! I know this is a super complex and personal issue, so I'm really curious to get some insights from the GirlsAskGuys community. Appreciate you sharing your perspectives!

But what are you supposed to do? You’re up by one, a minute left, you’ve got to put it in the net. It comes with being on a good team. You get leads, and then you get those. I get it, though. People don’t love it, I’m sure. But the whole point is just to end the game.”

End the game. Wait. Hang on a second. Think about that for a moment. Empty-netters end the game. They’re the true game-winning goals. Score one and you’ve assured victory. They end the tension, they deflate the opponent, they send the fans home. They’re huge. So what if Ovechkin is the NHL’s all-time leader in empty-net goals? So what if more than 7 percent of his career goal totals came without an opposing goaltender on the ice?

That means more than 7 percent of his goals guaranteed a Washington Capitals win. That’s not nothing. And look who’s next on the list — Wayne Gretzky, the man Ovechkin is chasing for the all-time goals record. Gretzky scored 56 empty-netters in his career. After that, it’s Marián Hossa (40), Brad Marchand (38), Sidney Crosby (36) and Mario Lemieux (33). Pretty good company.
