There are many types of terrorism and terrorist, and they don't always come from afar.
I am a woman that was taught to farm and hunt from the time I was eight years old. So guns were always an important factor in providing for our family, and eventually you do become very apt at hiting your subject. Many of us grew up this way, and part that of this entailed a respect for guns, and their abilities. I say this so that you will understand that I am no crazed paranoid fool.
In the last nine months, I have been had thieves hit my property at least once a month. They stole what ever they could carry and walk off with. I even had an electric gated and fencing installed. To no avail. Less than two weeks ago the thieves were back once again, but all the cartable equipent was already gone. The only things left were like the new zero turn lawnmover and the supplimental electric generator. They needed to get through my gate, so they cut the wires, tore off the solar panel, and tried to get to the marine battery. So when this happened at 2ish in the morning, the alarm went off inside the cabin.
I now live alone out in the country, so I sat there trying to decide what to do, all my other calls to the police on previous occurrences never produced any help until hours after everything was over. So there I sat, and I realized that if not tonight, soon the next step will be them coming into my home. So I quit shaking and retrieved my .38 revolver, called my neighbor and asked him to get a hold of our local police and tell them what I was going to do. I snuck outside, got within 20' go the thief, and turned on the red laser light on my gun. We stayed that way for almost an hour. Since my neighbor was there with me when the constable got there, and backed me up as a witness, the police believed me and took the theif way, and now I will be going to court.
I do not think just anyone should be able to have or own a gun, and I think that if you are able to get one you should have to keep up with practice at a gun range. I go at least every three months, and I take their safty courses when available.
HopeI'm not too far off topic.
