About seven years ago I became a volunteer firefighter/emt. I t didn't take long after witnessing all that can go wrong that I started to become more worried about the safety of my loved ones. My wife thinks I am crazy when I won't let her leave the dryer on when we leave the house because I have seen house fires that started that way. Recently after my son was born I picked out the car seat not by color or style but by it's safety record. Soon after when we purchased a minivan while she was looking at DVD players and cup holders I was looking at side curtain airbags. I just started getting into firearms about a year ago and have since been reviewing our home security and defense. I purchased a shotgun and have been talking my wife into getting a handgun to use while I am at work at night. So my question is how did you become interested in personal and home defense? Was it a single event such as a break in? Or was it a gradual building that brought you to where you are now.
