Mentioned in another thread about carrying a fire extinguisher around, and has me thinking.

Obviously a lot of fires go unreported, as you have the "why was I so stupid" factor, and a lot are put out by homeowners with fire extinguishers/blankets handy. A lot of burglaries go unreported, as garages were left open whatnot.
Given such a low prevalence of house fires with attendance by fire brigade, why is carrying a fire extinguisher suck a good idea ?
And before we get to the "guns are specifically designed to kill"...well no, both a gun and a fire extinguisher are designed specifically to ensure the longevity of the person wielding it.
