Lol it's like none of these folks have even heard of a gun safe.. I'd like to think most law abiding citizens keep their firearms safely locked up.
I was raised around guns, including how to use them safely. We live in a rather small town, but years ago some dude tried to break into the back of our house in the middle of the night with almost the entire family present, minus my father who was away for the ARNG. The warning shot my mother fired off in the sky and the subsequent warning that the next shot was coming his way got the would-be invader running away awfully quick, so much so that he tripped over a ladder that was left laying on the grass in the backyard on his way out. We caught a peek at the crappy brown truck he took off in, and we're quite sure he'd been casing our place for at least a week prior. They never figured out who it was, even though very shortly thereafter, an elderly couple in town were robbed.
Who knows what would have happened had that man gotten into our home, and I'm glad that we had guns available in our house to defend it from someone who would do us harm or take our property. Guns are not to be taken lightly, but when used safely and responsibly they can be an incredibly powerful tool.
