The mall shooting thread got me thinking (dangerous). Then I watched the news tonight, bad idea. There has been a steady increase in crime, drug related, over the last year or so and we are starting to see more break ins and trouble in our area. I had a thought of getting a gun for home protection but here is my dilemma.
We have a 5 yr old so the gun would stay locked up. If someone were to break in and threaten my family, how would I possibly have time to wake up/get up, get to the gun, unlock the case/cabinet, get to the bullets and load the gun in time to actually make it worth while?
This is a serious question. Those who read the mall shooting thread may think I am anti gun, I am NOT. I have owned in the past several guns and may in the future. We have some real die hard gun owners here and I want your opinion. What would/do you do?
Thanks!
