How will he feel if his wife or child is killed by an intruder and he could have stopped it, EXCEPT for the fact that he returned the gun because he didn' want it in his house. My family is always safe when they are with me, because I am always armed. I shoot about 1,000 rds a month practicing for an event I sincerely hope never happens. A criminal would be safer attacking Mike Tyson than my family. Mr. Davenport needs to think about this one scenario.

Coincidence? I think not. I live in Va and I own rifles, pistols and a shotgun. But, break in after dark and you are safe from them. It's the 6" of cold steel you need to be fear. I know the house better than you. I already have a plan for any entry you choose. I will bleed you out. Thank you Marine Corps.

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:13:55 +0000 http://nationalgunrights.org/blog/?p=357#comment-8396 When are people finally going to realize that "police protection" is barely a consideration when you live in a "inner city" or way out "in the country"? Where I am, the local sheriff's office is about 9 miles from me and they normally have maximum of 2 cars on patrol for a long slender county. The chances of a car being within 20 miles is slim. Who you ganna call? Ghostbusters? That makes about as much sense as being unprepared does. My first response is to protect my wife and my life. If you want in here, there will be a price to pay. Your sorry ass will be paying the price for your stupidity. Several years ago I had a knock at the door at 2am on Halloween night. I turned on an outside light and looked. I didn't recognize anyone out there. The next sound they heard was a round going into the chamber of my .45. And they knew what that sound was. The next thing I heard was "(my name)! DON'T SHOOT! It's me. (her name) But it was Halloween and she was in a costume that changed her looks. She had a black wig that covered her normal blonde hair. And she also had a new boyfriend that I didn't know. As it turned out she was a relative of mine and they had been to a party and ran out of gas on the way home. Once ID was made, the gun was unloaded and put back in its place. I got gas for them and drove them back to their car and got them on their way again. And it took just 2 days (From 2 am on Sunday morning to Tuesday) for word to go all around the neighborhood and back to me that "He answered the door with a gun". I really don't have a problem with the neighborhood knowing that. This just goes to show that you can't really count on law enforcement to be there to protect you in times of need. "When seconds count, the police are just minutes away." But you can relax in the fact that they will be there in time to try to hang you for using unjustifiable force or some other trumped charge against you to save face for the bad guys. After all, the bad guys have more rights than you do. The best thing you can do is make sure that there won't be any testimony from the bad guy. If he was doing his best to earn a living with a job instead of a criminal career he wouldn't be breaking into your house, would he? To get back to the original story about owning a gun in DC - Does someone say you have to live there? Freedom isn't really an affordable option there yet, is it? Good luck.

Viking linebacker as a victim before he chooses my 110 lb. daughter with a .45 in her hand. The wife needs to shake the fear of a gun and start worrying about not having one when she needs one. If the time comes you don't get a second chance. Dog or no dog. The dog will go down as the first threat. She will be next. Carry. Be master of your own destiny. Not opine to the will of a villain. There is only one chance. Make it work. You can't if you are not trained and prepared. DC or small town Minnesota. Makes no difference. Bad guys are bad guys wherever you are.

It is amazing to me that this man doesn't have sufficient manhood to embrace the concept of self protection, and is more convinced of the legend of big brother as their protector. Worse yet that he won't be someone who watches out for his fellow man (or his family) in the face of danger, but seemingly runs just as far and as fast as he can to get away from it - even after noting that repeated calls to the police department are totally ineffective.

The 2nd amendment to the constitution is the very last line of defense for a free America. Those of you who would attempt to abolish the right of the people to keep and bear arms will do so at your own peril. Thank GOD I live in Pennsylvania where I can pick out the gun I want, fill out the form, wait 30 seconds for a quick check call, and walk out with my gun. ( no wait, no fingerprint ) I had to wait about 30 days for my CC permit, only because of the fact that there we so many citizens ( read that patriots ) were preparing themselves for the last presidential inaugeration. By owning a gun legally, committing to protect yourself and your family, you are in fact being patriotic for exercising your constitutional rights. When asked why I needed a gun, I simply replied, " because I still can ". NEVER give up your gun, ever. Without a free America, there is no free world.
