Deviant Ollam recently did a talk covering this, entitled "lawyer, passport, locksmith, gun. a talk about risk and preparedness". [VIDEO] I don't have a tl;dr, but it's worth an hour of your time.

Yeah, 100% this. Deviant Ollam talks about something like this (though maybe a bit more high stakes (maybe not)) in his talk here about risk preparedness I found really interesting: [VIDEO]

The whole topic reminds me of Deviant Ollam's talk "Lawyer. Passport. Locksmith. Gun." ( [VIDEO] ) He spends a fair amount of time talking about getting his queer and trans friends interested in guns. I suspect this has been the trend for a few years, at least. He includes a quote that is rather salient: "If you do not have the means of violence, you aren't peaceful; you're harmless."
