My brother has a handgun because he lives in inner-city Toledo. He's tired of having his house broken into and he's tired of getting mugged. Last year some jerk who pretended to beat up a girl to get him to come over and say something tricked him into a fight. There were other accomplices who came and outnumbered my poor brother pretty badly. He ended up in the hospital with a broken jaw. He couldn't eat solids for a weeks.
After that crap, he decided to get a handgun. Quite frankly, I find it hard to blame him. Holding gun scares me. It doesn't scare him. I think he ought to be allowed to own a gun to protect himself, not so much in the event of some crazy anti-government revolution, but so that he can better defend himself against whoever he meets on the streets.
