One opinion:
Since this question asks for an opinion, I believe people should own a gun for self-defense. Just to be specific, I don't believe self-defense means "he-tried-to-hurt-me-so-I-shot-him-dead"; self-defense is to protect yourself and stop that other person from causing harm. If you killed someone who was about to cause harm or injury, it'd probably be best to give them what they deserve. Killing is a coward's way. But like I said, I might be the only one in the whole world who thinks that.
Another opinion:
It is not just the person who wants protection who might need to own a gun. Police and members of the military also need to be armed as part of their duties. Another reason for owning a gun is for certain sports like hunting. (This too is controversial, since not everyone believes in hunting.) But for those who enjoy this sport, knowing how to shoot is necessary. Similarly, there are a number of sports which involve competitive shooting, where participants shoot at various targets and try to be the most accurate. While I am not a fan of guns, I respect those who own one, and I know that contrary to news stories about crime, most people who own a gun use it responsibly, whether for protection or for sport.

Should christians own a gun for protection?
There is some risk is involved in owning a gun. There are a lot of accidents involving guns, and people who own guns for their own protection are sometimes shot by their own guns, which may be stolen from them. There are certainly cases of children getting hold of their parents' guns and playing with them and accidentally shooting people (or in some cases, deliberately shooting people). If you do own a gun you have to store it securely and you have to know how to use it. Still, if you are a Christian who lives in Egypt, India, or some other country in which Christians are being actively persecuted, then it probably would be helpful to own a gun for your protection.
