The only conceivable reason I could imagine for owning a gun is protection.
I prefer either mace or pepper spray, depending on which does least lasting
damage (something I keep putting off investigating).



Personally, I like my military daughter's attitude, and mind you she's
no stranger to guns, having undergone Marine infantry training at
Quantico and outshot a whole boatload of Marines to win her expert
marksman's qualification with a .45 automatic. While she was at
Pensecola, a burglar broke into her apartment. Her friends said,
"Don't you want to get a gun?" She replied, "Why would I want to do
that? I can't carry it on base, and if I leave it home and a  burglar
breaks in, all I will have done is arm a criminal."


Cheers,

John
