I have an honest question... what are people actually protecting themselves from with these guns? It's almost always for "protection" (with some sport/hobby exceptions). Do you folks live in high crime areas? Are you unsafe in your homes?
Are you trained like an enforcement official to handle your weapon in a time of stress or crisis? In the almost implausible case that someone broke into your house while you were home, would you have the balls to collect yourself, control the adrenaline rush to get your gun and make the shot?
Why is it those of us in countries that don't have a gun culture not getting robbed and murdered in our homes? Why are we not over run with crime as all our unarmed citizen roam the streets and sleep in their beds without guns in their homes?
Again, I am not being facetious, it just seems like much of the U.S. has such a culture of fear about every day life. I have never had the thought that I need a gun to protect my family. I also know that 99.9/100 times if I get into an altercation with an everyday citizen, that they don't have a gun that they may use if they are not in their right mind.
If any gun owners have a story that led as to why they feel better with a gun in their possession, I would honestly like to learn more and better understand.
