Just today, while out for a walk, I picked up a couple railroad spikes. I put one in my car. In the arm rest/glove box. If I get jacked by thugs in hoodies, at least I'll be able to knock one of them in the chops. I also gave a spike to my 80 year old dad, for his car.

At this time, I still don't want to own a gun.

Two years ago my wife spoke as you do. Hated them. Feared them.

Today, we went to the range. She did some practice with her .38 special revolver, fired a few magazines through her .380 semi auto and took some lessons from me on a .22 rifle with a scope and one without. She doesn't like my 9mm Beretta though.

Keep thinking about it and reconcile yourself with the way things are going to be soon. It only makes sense.

We bought a gun last year. Had never wanted to own one before, but some friends of ours lived in Mississippi during Katrina. They related the terror they felt when they were home unarmed and saw a gang of thugs coming up the street in their neighborhood breaking into houses and looting. Thankfully, the gang left before they got to our friend’s home.

We never want to be in that position.
