Actually most of my guns are “TOYS”. Some will probably resent that name, but they are paper punchers. I don’t hunt anymore. Getting a bit old. Just like to “PLAY” with my guns.
I reload and consider “Gun Control” to be a very tight grip on my gun.
I do have one “GUN” that is in my bedroom. Self defense, yes , if you break down all three doors to get to me in the bedroom. Otherwise all the others are locked up. You can take the TV in the living room, just stay out of my bedroom.
You want a gun for self defense and have never had one. Ask yourself this all important question. Could you shoot someone? If no, then get a dog. If no and you get a gun you will just be handing over a loaded weapon to the person attacking you.
Ask you self that question first. Then think about it. A long time. Kill someone, even an attacker and you take all they have and are ever going to have as well as effecting everyone around them. Can you live with that. If not you don’t need a gun for protection. Dogs and alarms systems are for you.
Want to punch paper? Join the rest of us and get a bunch of “GUNS”. It’s fun.
