"What is so important that you are defending that you need a gun?"
What about YOUR LIFE, you ninny?!?
Doesn't this woman read the papers? Robbers are more daring now than ever, coming into the home when folks are home, usually waking them up at night.
My grandmother was robbed in her home, while she was present, in the middle of the freakin afternoon. They knocked, and when she answered, they pushed in the front door. They stole all her jewelry, even her WEDDING RING! She'd worn it for over 50 years and those bastards took it. The shock of it all broke her, she had a her first heart attack two days later.
I have two babies at home. They are my life. If someone starts banging on my door at 12:30 at night and wakes me out of a sound sleep, you'd better believe I'm answering the door packing.
