[QUOTE="newfie, post: 4485710, member: 58700"] I'm kinda the same way. Own a shotgun and thats it. I can defend myself and no has ever messed with me probably because i"m taller and bigger then most and I dont go looking for trouble. My kids living in baltimore city during the riots got me thinking that maybe i need to reevaluate my options a little more. Those riots encroached within blocks of where my kids lived at the time. I thought about the fact that if trouble hit their neighborhoods the cops were standing down and I didnt have enough firepower to go in and protect them. The other factor is age. Old people tend to get more attention from the crooks . I remember when my dad was riding down the road and some thug tried to come up and mess with him. Dad placed his 45 between the guys eyes and calmly informed him that he perhaps did not understand who he was friend'n with. It was a persuasive argument that prevented any further criminal activity and any further bloodshed. Guns used wisely without any emotion can be very persuasive. [/QUOTE]
