I really don't understand this entire antigun thing here. I'm pretty sure I never will either. I grew up around guns and I've observed their use with deadly concequences as well. I agree that only those trained to use a weapon should have one, however, criminals will have them no matter what. The training is really to protect law abiding citizens from themselves. So are the gun laws. I guess there is no crime in other countries so they don't have to worry about the things that go bump in the night when their wives are home alone? They would rather the worst happen than for their wife to take out an intruder? I'm sorry, but if it came down to my daughter's life or the intruder's, no hesitation. I will admit that I prefer my daughter have a taser, but she will have a weapon. The first warning on a taser is Can temporarily incapacitate target. That's the idea isn't it?

Would a criminal think "hey I won't steal from that house or mug that person because they might have a gun" I would have thought they are more likely to think "hey they might have a gun I'll take mine just in case and if they have I'll shoot them."
