Really, I was kidding. I own a couple of guns, all inherited. I love shooting, but generally not a hunter. Not that I have anything against those that are.

My grandfather was a plant manager for the Springfield Armory in WWII. Guns have always been a part of my life.

I think its important for people to understand what it means to have guns in the home. I also think it is important for people to understand how unlikely it is to ever have such a drastic need for a weapon.

To each his own. Sometimes the questions scare me more than the answers.\

Happy New year.

Excellent point!

If/when a firearm is introduced into a home, careful thought needs to be put into where/how it will be kept, and EVERYONE in the house who will have access to it needs to know how to HANDLE it safely (not necessarily how to shoot it).

But that said, I think everyone should think about how they will protect themselves and their family.

Most homes have a fire extinguisher, but they don't expect to have a fire.
