[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 38 and grew up around guns.  Break ins and crime rates are still very low where I grew up largely in part because everyone knows that the house they break into very likely has a gun.  The break ins that do occur are usually done by people that they know.  I used to own guns.  I've done many classes and have been certified to teach them.  I know you think you'd be ready to kill someone, but I can tell just from your posts that you're too reactionary to have a gun for protection at this time.

Take some classes.  Learn about gun safety and self defense.  Go to shooting ranges where you can rent a gun to shoot.   You need to be very, very comfortable with a gun before you own one for home defense.  It isn't just about being prepared to kill someone. [b] You also need to know how to prevent the intruder from getting the gun away from you.[/b] [/quote]

In a home, you don't give warning. You make sure it isn't a family member then you shoot. If an intruder is in a position to get a gun away from you, something has gone very wrong  [/quote]
