I was raised around guns, my grandpa had his own fucking armory. He was a gun collector, so I've shot some pretty sweet guns. I recently shot a '44 M1 Carbine, which was a WW2 combat weapon. People in my family and everyone I know with guns has them as a historical collection, uses them to hunt with, and some have a handgun locked away for protection in their night stand or in the glovebox in their cars. I've personally had a gun pulled on me when I confronted a scrawny druggie peice of shit about stealing a CD player out of my car, and the little fucker pointed a gun at me, not a very nice experience. Personally the way I see it if guns are made illegal then the only people carrying guns are criminals. But to get back on topic, yes I've heard of people actually using guns sucessfully for protection. The people I know that have guns for protection never ever dream of having to use them, but have them just in case. I know if some bastard ever tried robbing my little old grandma that bastard would be in for a rude awakening.
