You watch too much television or you're just old, feeble and paranoid.

I don't know if he's old and feeble, but he's definitely paranoid. *I

though I needed a gun. *I have been in a few situations where I'm glad

sure can't see carrying a gun around for years, on the off chance I

have a use for it. *Hell, the average cop never pulls his gun.
I've never been shot at but.
In the mid seventies we had our home invade, while we were sleeping. The
*trauma so upset us that my wife would not remember it for a long time.
I thought I had just dreamed it for some time. We haven't brought it up
to our Daughter ever because she hopefully has no memory of it as she
was only 4 or 5.
There have been a few times over the years that we found ourselves, in
situations that we transited without any problem but the dice could roll
the other way sometime.
I don't carry but have, in the past, in the course of my job.
We've been broken into one other time and had different vehicles
vandalized several times. Dirt in the gas ruined children's little four
wheelers. Daughter's truck has had fuel filters changed and line flushed
*three times. Boat motor almost ruined by someone putting water in the
tank. We live in a rural area and have great LEOs. Most of the time we
simply said nothing because, there was nothing to be gained except for
the one time and we were so traumatized that we denied it happened for a
long while.
The need to protect one's self and their family is great. A firearm is
appropriate, in many situations.

I figure God made pillows to put your .45 under.

As if your wife would let you put a loaded handgun under a pillow in her
bed.
I recommend you simply be civil to the minorities in your neighbourhood.- Hide quoted text -

Don, what do you think about Harry being so scared all of the time
that he answers his door with a loaded and ready firearm?
