I originallly bought my sig for recreational reasons. Just for fun, target practice sorta stuff. The home protection is just an added bonus, and yes I fall under the 2 categories mentioned above.

In all honesty though, a good home security system will protect you better than a gun will. Once the alarm is triggered, the burglar will be out the door.
Alarms and dogs are very good deterants, but my guns gives me just as much peace of mind. If someone comes in with the intent to kill, I want a fighting chance and not to be shot in the back of the head, on my knees.
