CH,
I feel I must respond to your statement.First of I understand that everyone has a different opinion and I respect each of them. On that note you would think that you could get a cop quite easily living in a major city but in fact the reverse is true, I have seen responce times vary from two minutes to over 30 minutes for all high priority calls the reason why is that these forces at times can be taxed to the limit. I do aggree there is nothing more important than a human life but if an individual wants to take thier life and threaten mine in my home they best be prepared to face the consequences of that act. I do use a trigger lock and there is only one key (mine) the ammo is hidden seperatly as well as the gun. I have an 18 year old son and a 14 year old son
and I don't think they have ever even seen it but I can say this they will never have access to it as well. My oldest son graduates this year and he is going straight into the police academy to join the Philadelphia Police Dept.
My point of view is this, if a person breaks into your home while you are asleep this would be a very dangerous individual. Telephone yes, obviously try to avoid confrontation and no I don't recommend a gun for anyone to defend thier home that is the choice of the individual. But this is my choice and right, and believe me I have never slept better since owning it. It is a last resort means of defence.
