Candy, do you have young children in the home? If not, it's simple to rectify the "not one would be at hand for our protection" problem. Put a night stand with a drawer next to your bed, and keep your loaded gun inside of the drawer.
I don't own a gun, as I don't feel in danger at any time. Others, however, are not so lucky and should arm themselves, learn gun safety and how to shoot accurately.

My belief is that guns draw more gunfire, hence more deaths, than they prevent.
My household contains several guns (over my objections). I'm pretty sure that in a 'situation' such as home invasion, not one would be at hand for our protection, while the invader would poised and ready for battle.

Does the number of deaths by gun go up or down,in your opinion , and why?
