I don't own a gun and have always wondered what good a gun would do if it was unavailable and unloaded.

Thanks.
There is no confusion actually. If the gun is in the safe and unloaded it is not for home protection....just safe storeage.

The only gun deemed ready for home/self protection is one that is loaded and nearby.......anything else is rationalization of what ever for what ever. Unloaded guns offer no protection.

Before keeping a gun loaded either in the home or permitted and on one's person, please be sure to take the appropriate lessons in gun handling and defense. It is much, much more than just buying the gun.....which in the entire equation is the easy part.
