A firearm won't solve any problems without training, knowledge of their appropriate use, acess to them in time of need AND the will to use them and to deal with the consequences of their use. Yes consider getting that firearm but don't neglect the training. You can't buy enough hardware in the world to fix a software deficiency. Be safe, 1*
