That dog plus three others held us hostage in the back of a pickup truck for twenty minutes until the police got there.

Dependence on others ALWAYS leads one to be held hostage.

A handgun license, 4 shots, and personal judgment in making a phone call leads to personal contentment.

I dont always carry. I had walked this neighborhood many times and didnt feel the need. I did have my cell and I called the police. Even if I had my gun with me I had to get my children to safety first. There were four dogs. It was the grace of God alone that the dogs didnt attack us. If they had decided to attack a handgun wouldnt have prevented all four. Believe me, I am all about personal responsibility but that was one day I was thankful for the brave police officer that carried my kids to his cruiser that day.

Agreed! Better than taking a chance of being mauled!

And what if someone doesn't want to own a gun? I don't own a gun. I have lousy vision and arthritic hands. I'm more likely to shoot a bystander than a moving target.

That was a stupid comment you posted there.
