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,
