Silly me...having a gun makes one pro-active.

Having a gun means nothing. Having a gun and being ready, willing, and able to use it if necessary means you are less likely to be a victim. It is pro active in that you aren't just waiting for the cops to take your statement if someone wants to harm you.

Your first statement about community policing and crime prevention is accurate. They are proactive methods for deterring crime but they are not 100% successful in eliminating crime. Taking personal responsibility for you and yours is the next obvious step.
