Guns?

[duk]

Inspired by, and in the interest of not hijacking, the Glock thread, I would like to hear stories about gun use. Please keep it non-political. I lead a sheltered life and have not yet come across a situation where I would have wanted a gun, but I would like to hear about situations in which guns were useful, other than the standard gun-play situations like hunting and firing ranges.

Again, the less we bring political views into this, the better. Bring on the gun stories!
