My Stance on Gun Ownership is like this :
I don't own any Assault Weapons, don't feel I need to.
I do however own a Registered Taurus 608 Magnum .357 Revolver 8 Shot !
A .12 Gauge Shot Gun
as well as a Rifle.
and 1 .177 High Powered Spring loaded Pellet Gun/ Rutger.
In the event that I'm a Victim of a "Home Invasion" / Robbery, where my front door is Kicked in, or some other means of illegally entry by Criminals, out to Rob me, & Bring Harm to me ,,,,
at least I have a means to DEFEND myself from the Intruders who Inveaded my Home !!
I Highly Doubt under any Circumstances, and in my 49 yrs. I've never seen or heard of it happening, that I'd be able to Defend myself to any Decent Degree - by offering the Criminals , "WINE & CHEESE" , or "COOKIES & MILK" - see where that get ya in a Situtation like that when it comes down !!!
Calling 911 attempting to get the POLICE to your house in time in most cases is next to impossible or the response time is way off, by then it may be too late, and I'm NOT willing to take the chance, especially with my Life !!
I do NOT Idiolize or Glorify my Guns, just doesn't interest me in the slightest , my Guns are like all my TOOLS sitting in my Big Ol' Roll Around Craftsman tool boxes and my Cornwell Roll around tool box , their only good and of use to me when and IF I need to use them, other wize I consider them, kinda Dust Collectors actually !
But, I believe and always have in Fighting Fire, with Fire, showing up at a "Gun Fight" with a "Pocket Knife", I just ain't that Naive & Stupid or Gullible !! :-? :-?
The last thing I'm gonna do, if Criminals pull a Home Invasion on me, is whip out the 'WINE & CHEESE" or offer them "COOKIES & MILK", and hope everything is going to be just "Hunky-Dory" , "Fine & Dandy" - and as The Inspector said :
If used properly - "it'll remove the Finger Prints" !! :-?
a DisArmed Society is a Vulernable Society !
