I have never needed to use my smoke detectors to save me from a burning home, but I think it is a great idea to have them. Having them does not mean I am living in fear that my house will burn down. It is the opposite, having them means I do not have to live in fear of it.

Why did you change out the plates? Are you loving in fear of a criminal murder you in your home, or did you install them so you feel safer? Did you ever need to use the plates to run away in fear? Why have them?

A gun means never having to run away in fear, hoping to escape, praying you do. Fearing what would happen if you do not escape.
