we dont have many shootings up here in montana so it is hard to understand. see everyone owns guns , many like myself carry one regularly, and most can shoot quite well. who in, or not in, their right mind wants to face that.

'who in, or not in, their right mind wants to face that.'


#1 answer of who doesnt want to face that:

the authorities (police) when they come to take your stuff.

ray, according to some of these posters the fact that you are armed makes no difference to a potential criminal. your story shows the folly of that position.

pat. i remember seeing a documentary on criminals and they interviewd alot of them. the general consensus was that they wouldnt break into homes that were lit up or with noises inside. and they stayed away from mean looking people from robbing them, and if confronted tended to leave quickly as they were afraid they would get shot.
