"Being a single mum, I can't imagine not having a gun for home protection because that makes me a more confident parent, knowing that if someone intrudes into my home I know exactly what to do and my son knows what I'm going to do. I'm going to shoot to kill."

Personally I think it should be the law that everyone over 18 has to carry a loaded handgun at all times.

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostI believe statistically, she and Jimmy-Bob are more likely to be shot because she owns a gun, by a big margin. Not to mention the intruders she's expecting to blow away must be pretty dumb if they don't also carry guns.
- owning a gun
- thinking that you need to own one
- actually being right, you need to own one (location, situation, etc)
- being shot.
That's not a chain that you break by opting out of owning a gun yourself.
I agree with your other point: that's why I didn't keep a gun under the pillow when I lived in New York.
Scenario 1: intruder in apartment. He's armed, I'm not. Result: I do whatever he says.
Scenario 2: intruder in apartment. He's armed, I wake up and reach groggily for my firearm. Result: he shoots me.Comment
