[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1065106, member: 14668"] You "crack up" at these concepts because your paranoia of inantimate objects (guns) prevents you from making [I]rational distinctions [/I]between ordinary firearms and land mines/explosives/claymores etc. [I]No[/I] rational person would [I]ever[/I] consider placing land mines on their property, even if it were legal to do so (which it is not.) [I]Plenty[/I] of rational people have made the decision to keep a firearm available in their home for the purposes of self defense. Only an idiot would discuss the two actions (land mines vs a gun) in the same sentence. If you knew anything at all about guns, you would know that (a) there [I]is no[/I] such gun as a "249" and (b) one of the benefits of relying on a shotgun for home defense is the short range and lower velocity of a shotgun load poses far less of a risk to one's neighbors due to overpenetration of walls or doors. You have made a choice to not own a gun. You have that right, and I respect it.
