Legal to have firearms in your house

[o0miza0o]

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)

Ah well then I'm fine with that!

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.

gun vs bat? i know which one would win

like jorbaud said keep no bullets, but pistol whip em

Would you rather get some jewelry stolen by a robber or cause your child harm?

Just saying. :P

I'm on the fence with the whole gun issue.

Part of me believes that if all guns disappeared, the world would be a better place. But people are always going to find a way to gain the upper hand over each other.

Holding a loaded gun is quite a thrilling experience. I just don't see the same need for them that all the gun nuts do. Their arguments that we need to be able to defend ourselves from invaders foreign and domestic is kind of moot, those invaders would come packing a lot more than just a dinky pistol or rifle used for deer hunting. However, I may be slightly biased having had a shotgun loaded with slugs aimed at my face by an ignorant, immature cousin of mine while hanging out at our family's hunting shack one autumn.

Hehe not biased at all, you're just thinking about reality. That could happen to anyone.
Eh but wouldn't it be great if there were no wars? But like you said, there will always be people fighting.
Whenever there's land, there's bound to be wars.. I always think of it that way.

The world would be better if no one had guns, explosives, or attack bunnies. But the fact is, every single country is too paranoid of what all the other countries have up their sleeves.

As it is, I would rather have my hypothetical son be in the slight danger of finding a gun and shoving it into his mouth (he could choke on that thing!) than be in the much greater danger of having him shot by a panicked crook with an itchy trigger finger. Gun safety is a simple and easy thing to practice around hypothetical children of your own; just put them out of reach of the child.

I agree with keeping hunting rifles as I like hunting, but I see no need for pistols because those are meant mainly for killing humans. You can also shoot someone with a rifle in case of an emergency.

Not all home invaders carry guns either, I keep a big ole kendo stick around for the lulz

I keep a bat in my closet, a pocket knife in my pillow and one of those survival knives in my dresser. I don't really believe in guns, I mean, you can never run out of ammo with a knife can you?

I've got lots of knives too, but I like to be able to shoot people who trespass. Ummmmm....maybe I don't fit into the mentally sane category after all...too many knives...likes to shoot his neighbors...eh...
