Hmmm . . . but what if someone quicker than you sneaks up from behind and grabs your nice accessible gun?
Sorry, but I'm in the 'no guns' camp. Guns as a deterrent? Maybe, but escalating, heat-of-the-moment moments and instant access to a gun are not a good mix. Too many people are killed and injured by arguments that get out of control in a hurry. Add booze to the mix (as is frequently the case) and there's a recipe for disaster.
$136 for the ability to kill something, eh? Ah well, life is cheap.
