Yep. "If you have a gun the bad guys will just take it away and shoot you with it." That happened here in Utah quite a few years back. Young husky burglar broke into the house of an elderly couple in the middle of the night. He coldcocked the old man in his bed and then proceeded to dig into the old lady's jewelry box. When she started screaming he decided to strangle her. As he was doing so she was scratching at his chest and stomach. When she felt the gun in his wasteband she yanked it out and shot him with it.

If that poor burglar hadn't had a gun the bad guy wouldn't have used it on him.

Any more platitudes?
