    Yes. Several to be in fact. Here's "my" gun that my dad got me for my bday 2 months ago. We got a lot of hunting rifles, oh those stupid deer.

    No. I'm not scared of the society I live in.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    It is well to be wary of it, though.

    If I lived in an urban area I'd be packing full-time.
    No-one owns a gun around here.

    I'm actually pretty scared of big dogs. There are a couple living just down the street from me - a lurcher and some Japanese fighting thing - but while I'll make sure the gate to my garden is locked, I won't rest a gun by the side of my chair while reading in the sunshine.

    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.

    Hmmm....
    Fence - privacy, keeps out dogs, and can let a 4 year-old play without super strict supervision.

    Alarm system - you've gone to work and someone carted away all your shit, taking an hour to do it....oops they can't because of THE ALARM SYSTEM. Also anyone coming in or out at any time sends a signal.

    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.
