From: "Robert G Lewis" 

In this case they are requesting / recommending that the head of household
own and maintain a gun.

"City Councilmen Jett got this idea from a law passed in a Georgia
town that requires every house to have a gun. He says crime went down by
80% there. The recommendation in Greenleaf would not apply to those people
who either can't afford a gun,who are legally prohibited from owning a gun,
or simply anyone who is against having a gun"
