No. I'm not scared of the society I live in.
No-one owns a gun around here.Quote:

Would you.
I'd say that there is more chance of one of those dogs leaping over my fence and biting my face off than a burgular negotiating his way thro' my, or your, front door, evading the alarm and harming me or my family. Yet the notion of having a gun handy, just in case, seems ludicrous to me.
It's an ingrained mentality, I don't have it. You appear to.
I can only understand the oppressiveness by proxy but you'll excuse me for feeling slightly perturbed that altho' Busyman lives in a fairly quiet area, has a huge fence around his property, a hi-tech alarm and deadbolted doors he still feels the need to have guns in all six corners of his house (I paraphrase).
The definite difference you speak of seems rather oppressive to me.
I see no reason to re-evaluate my views, I'd hate to feel that way.
I don't need a real gun, wouldn't want to live in a country where I did.

Guns - Someone breaks in, you have nothing, they have a gun, you and your family are huddled in the bedroom waiting to die.
Mind you this is all just in case shit. I have never had my house broken into.
One day, just one day, your house might get picked.
I deal in lowering chances of shit happening and not sitting on the fence.
I also believe the world only gets worse as time goes on.
Btw I don't live in Beirut or anything. The previous owners, for example, lived here for 42 years and didn't have an alarm. I believe in protecting my family and giving them piece of mind. When I'm not there and there is basically a shield around the house, that makes them feel better.
Simple logic. :)
Dude, a gun is not a magical force-field that wards all evil away.
