Is it really Bows or Guns??

I think it all boils down to what you have. Any weapon is just a tool to achieve an end result.
Take hammering in nails for example. You traditionaly use a hammer but I've used a brick, half a brick rocks etc it achieved the same result ie the nail went into what I wanted it to go in.
Weapons are the same intruders, gangs or as some like to say zombies are much less likely to go for you when prevoius encounters with you have left some or all of them perforated to some degree or another. The terms aceptable losses and easier targets come into play wneeby yu just need them to move on to an easier target and leave you alone.
Word spreads fast, I've done it with chavs here, slap a few up and down and the rest avoid you. The phrase grew man/woman is also relevent here whereby you want to seen a worthless target who has nothing of interest.
You can also make getting to you virtualy impossible with thorny bushes or such surrounding your location.
