[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 846550, member: 17969"] The only problem with this (and I understand how something like this may change your mind) is that the odds of this happening twice in your lifetime is pretty remote. Even police officers who are employed to protect society and armed with handguns and shotguns rarely EVER fire a shot during their entire career. By percentage, the majority of police officers NEVER EVER fire a single shot in a 25 year career. Even those in the LAPD. They have had guns pointed at them, yet, they rarely fire a single shot. During their careers, batons, gas and physical apprehension are the means to handle criminals. Indeed, I can imagine how you felt looking at a weapon pointed at you, but uinless you are living or visiting someplace where this is commonplace, the odds are against this happening twice in your lifetime. As i said, if you chose to have a gun for protection, then thats your choice, just dont stock pile guns and leave them out for your children to get a hold of, or use it on your wife/girlfriend in a domestic dispute, or shoot someone just for upsetting you. This is the most common use for handguns in this country. Not saying you will, just saying. Peace. [/QUOTE]
