barrysloateDylan- fair enough, there are crimes more violent than robbery. But if the victims in that case had access to a gun, somebody probably would have been killed.
In 1988 I walked into my apartment to find two people ransacking it. They were not expecting me back in the middle of the day. They pushed me into the bathroom, cut the phone lines, and left with some valuables. But the loss was minimal, and amazingly they were caught that night (after robbing someone else) and most of what they stole I recovered. They were amateurs and even though my collection was in the house they never saw it. I've never owned a gun but wondered if I did how I would have responded in that situation.
