Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

      A drunk guy attacked a STRANGER–the WRONG stranger–for having pride flags on their porch. Even if this stuff is less common than in the past, it’s far from gone.

      I’m guessing if Wolfe said “Get off my property or I’ll shoot you” it might have deterred Jones more than a baseball bat. Maybe not, but the gun still gives you an edge if/when it comes to a fight.

      As others have said, if you believe the dangers of a gun in your home outweigh the benefits, then by all means don’t own one. I just don’t think it’s “terrible” advice to own a gun and keep it in a safe location.
