If your perception of reality, like mine, is in full agreement with the guides above, do as I do - own and carry, and resist any nanny-state attempt to render you weak and helpless prey.

An armed intruder being able to commit a crime and leave before police arrive is absolutly plausible, and in fact, happens all the time. 1/2 of all murders in San Francisco, for example, remain unsolved.

I would like to be one of the few who don't need to rely on the police to protect the lives of myself and my family.

I am more concerned with this scenario than the government marching into my home with a gun confiscation order. And, even if they did, I know a place to buy a gun for $200.00 without the waiting period. :) Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

I buy mine from people advertising in the newspaper. I pay cash and go on my merry way.

Carry always - tell no one.

Liberals don't seem to realize that criminals do not either.
