Hey Jimmy,

Listening to a whiny sis like you reminds me why we parted ways oh so long ago.

I also have owned and shot weapons of all types my whole life. Not only do I enjoy hunting with my father and friends, I also shoot for sport. I own a shotgun and a centerfire rifle and can handle both well. I am also a state champion archer, and an avid bowhunter. I was brought up to handle weapons safely and effectively.
But make no mistake, if you enter my home uninvited, you will recieve 1 verbal warning, if unheeded, you will be put down with extreme prejudice. As far as using a phone as a weapon, just remember……”when seconds count, the police are just minutes away.”
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” I am a survivor and will protect my family with twice the aggression of an intruder.
Great article.

I think this post is totally appropriate. We’ve had a number of things stolen form our yard and I’m not going to wait until someone has the balls enough to come into my home while we’re sleeping; I have three boys and a wife I am responsible for protecting. I needed the help to think through an important decision like this. Besides my Constitutional right to bear arms, I want to make sure I am well equipped to protect my loved ones should that need occur. Thanks for the article!

Here’s some food for thought for the staunchly anti-gun crowd. I agree with you that there is no need to get a gun if you live in a civil society. If there is a prowler or burglar, it is better to just call the police rather than risk using a firearm on your family or having a child shoot himslef. But I think you are underestimating the fragility of civil society. I live in the San Francisco Bay area, and I own a gun just in the slim case that there is a mega earthquake, knocking out power, EMS response and law enforcement for days or even weeks. What happens if there are looters and no police to call? What if you have to shepard your family out of harm’s way through hostile areas filled with desperate, hungry people? I have a gun and keep it locked up just in case of natural disasters or sociopolitical collapse.
