I see both sides very clearly and can defend either way. Personally I find that having guns in ones house could turn out for the good or the bad. We have all read or seen on TV about the kid who got a hold of his father's firearms and accidentally killed himself or someone else. Or the father who defended his home from a home invasion. I have personally seen kids turn on their own parents and shot them to death with their very own guns just because they were told to take out the trash one time too many. It is much easier to have an accident with a firearm, than with a baseball bat. I have qualified for Expert pistal, and Expert rifle while serving our country in the US Navy, but still have never had a firearm in my home. Personal choice. Maybe if we lived out in the wilderness where wild animals could enter our homw, but the likelyhood of that happening in the average home is very unlikely.

Still if something catostrophic were to happen in our society that would send us into some kind of powerless dark days a weapon might be ones only chance of survival for a while in defense of personal property. Who knows? I prefer to live in the realm of today. Life is good and I want to enjoy it the best ways that I know how. Be happy and spend that money sharing the life you have with the ones you love. Not hiding in one's house worrying about some ficticious invasion. If it happens, it happens. Survival in those types of situations will be pretty slim at best, and even so who would want to be around if it does come to that?
