As for your mother, busy. Why not get an appartment on the 3 floor or above in a block of flats? A lock on the door, no access to windows, how's this rapist gonna get in?
Besides, most rapes take place outside a person's home. Does your mother carry her gun around everywhere she goes?
This is another thing; people say they are used for self-defence but most things that call for an act of self-defence take place outside. Unless you carry your gun around with you and that would be scary. The idea that every time you walk out your front door a murderous-raping-paedo-thief might jump out at any given moment, and they have a gun! But oops, you left yours in your house.
In the event that you do have you gun with you, well then, it's just a case of who shoots first - wins! What a wonderful world that would be.
No, I take my gun out much and if I do, it's not loaded. In fact the ammo is in the trunk, gun in the car (in must be separated).
Fact is, I don't fit your cubbyholing of guns bad for everyone...justbad.
I have it for the home...nothing else.
Btw, my mother lives in a house. An apartment is not an option.
