Cause I just can't see it.

I own 4 handguns, well 3 now because my 9mm got taken away from me by the authorities. I have 2 other 9mm pistols plus a .357 magnum. When I purchased it 10 years ago, the guy at the store told me that if I wanted a 100% man-stopper, this was the gun for a girl to get which I did. I bought all these guns years ago when I was in my I'm-not-going-to-be-victimized-by-a-man phase.

I also had to learn to shoot it, and it’s heavy, and if you shoot it enough, it really starts to hurt your wrist, but I have no doubt in my mind that if someone broke into my home, and if they made enough noise that would wake me up, I could get this gun and know that I was going to be safe. If I were attacked, the attacker would die because from what I understand, this gun leaves quite an exit wound.

Another problem is, and I think it varies from state to state, are the gun laws. Even if you use a gun as self defense, you still have to go to jail until they figure out what happened, and the guy better have been armed when you shot him. I think if he has a knife and you shoot him with a gun I think you might be looking at some serious jail time. I'm really fuzzy on the gun laws in this state. I just hope I never have to shoot anyone. The weapons are for a complete life or death, last resort sort of scenario. What did that lady say in that move Matrix? “It’s better to have a gun and not need it, than to need a gun and not have one.” That works for me.

But right now the whole idea of guns makes me cringe a little bit. I just thought I would add my two cents worth to this conversation.
