[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1064930, member: 14668"] I'm familiar with that quote. The deal is, people who are terrified of inantimate objects like guns simply cannot fathom how a person could regard owning or carrying one as nothing more than a [I]reasonable precaution[/I]. For instance--when I drive my car, I am not "terrified" of getting in an accident, or breaking down by the side of the road, or getting a dead battery. Nonetheless, I still choose to take the [I]reasonable precaution[/I] of wearing a seatbelt and keeping tools and jumper cables in the trunk of my car. I do this because I know that life has a way of throwing situations at us that are potentially dangerous, and that trying to anticipate and prepare for such situations is a prudent thing to do. My gun is simply another inantimate object that I choose to have in case I am confronted with such a situation. [/QUOTE]
