Some people are only concerned with and support laws or regulations
that protects *them* or their interests. Laws or regulations
that don't concern them are unnecessary and the cost to enforce
them a personal burden in their minds.

You could have just said "gun nut."

I am a gun owner but I don't consider myself a gun nut.

I never owned a firearm when we had kids living with us. Didn't buy my
first gun until 2009 and did so only at the recommendation of
a lawyer friend because I owned and ran a guitar shop and often had
large sums of cash on me. I also had been thinking about getting
a permit and gun simply because my wife and I are now older and not
quite as physically capable as we were years ago in terms of defending
ourselves. So, basically the guns serve as a potential (but unlikely)
home invasion defense. Most of the time they sit in a safe that
I can guarantee even Greg couldn't "crack" unless he used dynamite. :-)

You are not making much sense now. You have a gun to protect against
"home invasion" but it is in a safe.
Are you planning on them calling for an appointment? ;-)

BTW have you ever seen what a 14" cutoff saw does with a diamond blade
in it? Concrete and steel is certainly no match for it.

The first thing a thief will have to do at my house will be to know
where to even look. One thing about large scale renovations is it
allows you to create "hidey holes" in unexpected places ;-)

You must have missed "most of the time". I have several guns.
Not all are in the safe *all* of the time. At least one is within
an arm's reach at night.

You haven't seen my safe. First, you would have to find it. Second,
it's not your average home safe. Don't know about the top, sides or
bottom because I can't get to them from the outside but the door is
about 2 and a half inches thick. Dynamite would probably be faster and
less noisy.
