If adequately trained, yes. Plinking ≠training.

If those with access to the gun are responsible and have firearm training, yes.

As a gun owner I would say my house is slightly less safe with my guns.

I own multiple guns but don’t see how it makes my house safer

I made this poll because of this exact thing. I thought it was pretty settled,

Is there herd immunity when a criminal has more reason to believe you might be armed?
