For those interested in protecting your family.

Have you spent half of what you're going to spend on firearms, ammo, holsters, a safe, and so on acquiring additional life insurance?

Have you child-proofed your home? Do you and your wife have annual physicals? Have you had a recent prostate exam or colonoscopy? Watch your weight? Exercise regularly?

Have you checked the lights and brakes on the family vehicles in the last 6 months? Installed deadbolts on the doors to your home? Have you stocked your house with extra food and water in case of a natural disaster?

Do you own something other than a dime store first aid kit? Have you taken a first aid class or lifesaving course? Do you know CPR? Do a Heimlich maneuver?

If not, then statistically speaking, you're falling to adequately protect your family.

Because all of those potential events are about a thousand to one-hundred thousand times more likely to strike you or a loved one than a crazed home invader.
