I told her that if you do not have a way to defend yourself than your just ‘playing the odds’ that the bad thing will happen to someone else and not you. My uncle is a Vietnam vet and former Air Force pistol champion. He said to me recently, “You almost never need a gun, but when you do you need one REAL BAD!� I thought that was the perfect way to describe it.

Friend of a friend used to try and lecture me about the importance gun control. About a month after she moved into a swanky new apartment she had her mom over and they were making dinner. They had not thought to lock the front door. Suddenly a man tried to open the door and step into the apartment. They managed to through themselves against the door and get the guy locked outside. The man began screaming wildly and pounding on the door demanding to be let inside. They called the cops and hoped the door didn’t give way. After they spent several minutes screaming the police are coming over and over the man gave up and went away shortly before the police arrived.

I listened to the story and then asked politely, “So tell me did you wish you had a gun?� Her answer “YES, will you teach me how to shoot one?� Count one won over to our side.
