A person can control gun safety in their home. All you have to do is keep them locked up. But you can't really control what happens on the streets (unless you yourself are carrying a gun [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

There is a social price to pay with an increase of gun ownership. I'm not sure this is true, but I would suspect that even though you are more likely to be mugged in London, you are probably alot less likely to die of a gunshot. If true, I for one would rather be mugged than shot.
