Legal to have firearms in your house

[criplockin]

This is a discussion on if you feel a person without a criminal history and is mentally sane should have the right to own a fire arm for self defense in their own house

Please discuss in a peaceful way.

i say yes, because these days you get people robbing houses with guns, knifes, baseball bats etc

[lordgonzo]

^^^ thats why he also said mentally sane

[jorbaud]

Just as long as they are mentally sane and have no criminal record they should be allowed to. People are robbed all the time and should be able to defend themselves, their family, and possessions.

Home Invasions happen once every 12 seconds and it happens to 1 in 5 homes at some point.

I think you should be able to keep guns

[o0miza0o]

This is a toughy but I would really say NO. I hate guns, and it doesn't matter to me if the person is sane or not.
When anger takes over it's something hard to control and at that moment you might pull the trigger.
You may say you know how to control yourself but what if a kid gets a hold of it? They don't know any better and could really hurt themselves and even others.

You're saying you'd keep a gun for protection? Why not get a bat or something? I know it doesn't have the same affect but it's better safe than sorry. The last thing you want is seeing your loved ones suffer because of your own mistake. It's a really scary thought and to be honest, just seeing a gun gives me such a bad feeling.

Depends on the crime....

Non-violent, non-sexual....just your average pot smoking, tax evading, drunk driver; sure they can have a gun.

But not a criminal who has committed a crime that caused physical harm to someone else that could use the weapon to aid them in future crimes. Sometime along those lines.

Just don't keep any bullets. Having a gun and pointing at the robber is more than likely enough to scare him off (though it could just make him mad)
