Listen; I'll go look at your little site, whatever it is about.
Please don't think me a gun nut in the Brit definition, i.e., that I think every Tom Dick and Schmuck out there should be strapped. But make no mistake; I live in a neighborhood that has frequent break-ins and I'm surrounded by people who would just as soon shoot you for your leather jacket as talk to you.
If someone comes into my house with the intent of robbing me or hurting me, I'm not going to take the chance that a burglar will wait for me to dial 911 and hang out till the cops arrive. I do not want to ever, EVER have to kill a person, but if it comes down to them or me, they lose. Every time.
Wouldn't you rather that I - a Mother and wife - would be able to protect myself instantly instead of having to rely on the questionable swiftness of the police, or would you rather I get raped or murdered?
