It doesn’t happen here. What are you afraid of. Do you really need to carry a gun in your own home in Bloomfield? We have the best police in the state what do you need that for?
I have heard this for as long as I have lived here. Bloomfield is a safe city and there is no need for me to have a gun. I do commend our police. They responded to an issue we had in under 2 minutes. They have been responsive when we have reached out to them and they are actually for the most part very cool with citizens carrying responsibly.
Police can not be everywhere. They may be 2 minutes away but that is 1 min and 59 seconds farther away than my concealed carry pistol. When seconds count minutes can kill.

If this person had carried on his person instead of in his room this could have gone even better for him. Had this person not had access to a weapon it could have gone a lot worse. The moral of the story is a gun in the home can be used safely for home and personal defense. A gun on your person however is better than one in the safe. That said one in the safe as well is not a bad idea.
