I don't own or want a gun (I'm more like those that are interested in parting you from your dress), but I can certainly understand the utility of a gun. <br /><br />As an interesting aside, that town that I recently left leads the nation in police shooting people (per capita). I'd rather have armed neighbors than cops as neighbors.Stuccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486166896422212439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28827797.post-46904169741960898572006-12-12T19:59:00.000+00:002006-12-12T19:59:00.000+00:00Thats a good point of view.

I always felt safe myself because of my physical size and the fact that I lived in a low crime area.<br />Actually 90% of American Violent crime is gang on gang and only in small geographical pockets. Which I'm thankful for.<br /><br />Now that I have kids and have to travel with them quite often I feel like I need to provide them with an additional level of security.<br /><br />For example, We were all picnicing in the park when a stray pit bull wandered up to our table. He was about 80 pounds pure muscle. The kids were scared stiff.<br /><br />Luckily I was able to chase him off butI was glad I had a pistol handy incase he was aggressive or rabid.<br />I would hate to face a a predator with three little ones in tow and have nothing but my fists to defend them with.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550167783969561280noreply@blogger.com
