    Did you not have a gun at the time? Or did your ownership of a gun not prevent the theft?

          I honestly can’t tell if this is sarcasm or if you have reading comprehension problems.

          I wasn’t home. There was no possibility for me to prevent this theft, gun or no gun.

          If it’s sarcasm meant to show that things can happen even when armed, no shit. If that is meant to show I shouldn’t have one at all, would the counterfactual (situations in which a theft or assault were stopped or prevented) be sufficient to show one should carry?

            Dude, you’re the one talking about how guns can stop theft and your example was a theft that you were not able to stop with a gun. That’s not my fault.

              would the counterfactual (situations in which a theft or assault were stopped or prevented) be sufficient to show one should carry?

              If not, what was even the point of the question? I get you thought it was pithy but… It’s just kind of dumb if you won’t allow the counterfactual to support my position.
