Look at New Orleans, what saved a lot of those people's posessions from looters were guns. Even right here in Paterson when we had all that rain, it was the same thing.
EDIT: it's not so much using the gun, its the fact that when people know you have one, they know not to break into your house or simply mess with you. If some guy is trying to break into your house and you stand there with a gun pointed at his head, he will most likely try to run away
