It clicks with me. Rifle here, rifle by bed. rifle in truck, many rifles in safe. Maybe you need some rifles.
True, but if I'm walking around town with some coffee and don't have any (of my) rifles near me, it doesn't ring true. I feel safer inside my house anyway, and my CCW piece is more likely to be used outside the house, hence the advantage of the pistol is also its weakness...
But I guess the quote makes sense, I just never found it very compelling.
That's okay though, to each his own.
