At least in the U.S. you don't need a reason, yet alone a good one. It would be like asking "what good reason do people have for saying fill in the blank hateful/unpopular/religious things"? Of course no one needs to justify their right to say such things, nor do they need to justify or elaborate reasons for owning a firearm. If you were genuinely curious, violent crime is easily 2x more prevalent in urban areas. Firearms provide defense for shopkeeps and senior citizens alike.
