Paramilitary police: Cops or soldiers?

Is there any other reason for wanting to own a gun (in a non combat situation) rather than weird insecurity?

Hobby? Many people collect guns, just as others collect baseball cards, model trains, or sports cars.

I suppose you dismiss those people as obviously insecure though...

Sport or recreation I suppose. I don't own any firearms but I have gone out 'shooting' with friends that do and it's quite fun.
