Meeklo I totally understand what you are saying. City of Gods was a crazy ass movie. I wouldn't keep a gun at home if I had a kid first of all. But heres a little story, so about a year ago I was sleeping and my roommates mother who was visiting was outside on our porch having a smoke, mind you she doesnt see well without her glasses on and this guy walks up mumbling some shite, she didnt even see where he was until he was about five feet from her. She ran inside and locked the door as this guy fell against the door. Woke me and my roommate up and I went to talk to the guy...who was at this point trying to get into our home. Turned out he was drunk but he started yelling at me to let him in. If the guy had a gun I'm telling you he was drunk and pissed off enough (for who knows what reason) to do god knows what. Fortunately after informing him calmly that I was armed and I was calling the police if he didn't leave now, he left.
The situation could have been different...I'm not saying for sure that it would have but it could have been very different if he got to the door before my roommates mom, if he had a gun and if he didn't get scared becuase I had one.
I keep one because of situations like these. You are right...guns are made for one thing, and I am totally aware of that. I don't go to ranges and target practice for fun, I go maybe twice a year so that I am familiar with it and I won't accidentally shoot myself if I ever needed to use it. But I keep firearms incase someone gives me no chance to diffuse a situation in my own home. It's really easy to think that there is always a way out of things, I've been in a situation before where there was no way out and I know how that feels. I used to feel that I could always diffuse anger, avoid it somehow but sometimes that is not the case. I'm not trying to make you side with me or see my point of view, its your right to decide what is best for you. That's all we can do in life.
