i don't carry one. hell i don't even own a gun (big surprise huh?) but i don't care if anyone else does. i would say that 99% of people that do carry guns have never used them for protection and probably never will. but i realize it is that 1% that might save your life.
i was brought up around guns all my life but i'm not comfortable with them in my house. we have too many friends with kids and as well as i can hide things i'm still afraid that a little one may find them. i couldn't live with that on my consious. i know you can lock them up but i just can't take that chance. while i can teach my daughter gun saftey i can't teach everyone elses child. it's just a personal choice for me.
i'm not saying that it will never happen but i can't ever remember being in a situation where i needed a gun. but believe it or not. i fully support the right to bear arms. so no flames necessary

You are consistent though I admire that! Seriously though I go through the same thing. I have gun locks on my wifes and my home defense guns.

Same thing that Marine was talking about happened in Jamacia in the late 70's. It work's like this; Govt. takes away all the "registered" guns from law abiding citizens. Next, crime hits an all time high because the still gun toting criminals KNOW that almost EVERYONE is a sitting duck at that point. Sad, but most Non- African Americans, or West Indians were forced to leave out of fear for thier families lives! Interesting.
Maryland is about the WORST "May Issue" state in the US. I have been waiting about 60 day's for a response on my CCW, not holding my breath.

In Texas, you CAN legally use deadly force to prevent theft or to prevent a thief from fleeing with your stuff. Does that mean it's right? Legally....yes. Would I do it? No. That's what insurance is for. When they become a threat to me or my family then it's a different ballgame. I wouldn't shoot someone over property though. I don't want that on my concious.
