Gun owners?

[Napoleon]

Why on Earth would I want a gun?

[Napoleon]

Here's a little quiz:

1-Do you sell drugs?
2-Are you in any way involved in organized crime?
3-Are you involved in an abusive relationship?

If the answer to all three of those questions is "no", then your odds of being murdered are pretty close to nil.

It's kind of funny though because I live in a significantly more crime-filled neighborhood than most gun owners, who tend to be paranoid suburbanites, and I'm not scared.

You can't take for granted one's need to feel safe though. I'm not a gun owner but if that's what someone needs to feel safe at home with their kids and belongings and what not then I can't tell them no, I can only tell them to be smart and act responsibly.

We're probably both on the same page on the gun issue though. I just don't like the idea of these Zimmerman types owning firearms.

I could cite endless cases of murders whre those conditions are not met- hell just look at the Trayvon case as it seems the facts show none of those factors were met. I own a weapon and have since my wife was first pregnant because in the very small chance something did happen I want to keep myself and more importantly my family safe...

Now- I live alone which people notice. I am older which people notice... I would seem to be an easy target for a burglar or home invader. Therefore I want to protect myself still with a simple weapon. I hope to God I never have to put it to use

If Trayvon had a firearm, he'd still be dead or he'd be the one getting charged with murder. It's a chicken and egg thing, gun ownership and gun misuse can both be the culprit.

What about the Hair Force? I remember you didn't recognize them as servicemen.
