It's a tough call- guns save lives and destroy them.

I too would like to think if my life were in danger and I owned a gun I would have the presence of mind to use it properly. But in life and death situations people can panic, and at that point you just don't know. You could pull out a gun and it could misfire; you could be very nervous and have it wrested away by the intruder, and a simple robbery could turn into a murder.

I know I don't ever want to go there.
