Dave, Carrying a gun with you at any time or just having one in the house is a problematic situation at best. Looking at the two opposing schools of thought you mention, I suppose everyone has to weigh what they feel is their comfort level with guns. On which side does a person “err”? There is no easy answer. One person may go through life and NEVER find a need for it while the next may save a life by having it.

I will strongly support anyone’s decision either way and certainly am not anti-gun. That said, where I am in my life right now, I will err toward not having the gun. One year from now might find me sporting a different point of view. I will say that my extended family has seen multiple tragedies from the misuse of guns, so that might color my viewpoint. We are, after all, the sum of our experiences but the future might add up to a different stance.
