How many times have you *had* to use a firearm to defend yourself over
the same period of time?

A couple.


Oh, well. Go for it.


You seem to be fairly well armed and you have made no secret of the
fact that you would use deadly force if it was necessary so you do not
really have a stand here.

BAO trusts the police to respond before anything bad can happen to
him. I hope he is right but they usually just show up in time to take
a report and, maybe, call the coroner. The number of these crimes that
are actually closed is frighteningly small.


Ahh, but my primary purpose in having a few firearms is to participate
in target shooting. At one point, there were two morons here who
threatened physical violence, so I "gunned up" and got a carry permit,
but those morons -the crazy guy from the Pacific Rim who lived in Canada
and nutball Scotty from Connecticut- seem to have disappeared.

If we had a home invasion here and we somehow weren't warned by the
security system, I probably could get to a sidearm or shotgun in time to
defend us. If thugs trip the property lights at night or the perimeter
alarms, there's no question I'd have time to grab a firearm. I certainly
wouldn't hesitate to fire into the center of body mass of a home
invader. My "trusty" S&W revolver would do the job, and I wouldn't need
more than six rounds.


Given what you just said, BAO would call you either paranoid or a gun nut, or both.
