My brother walked in on a home invasion in progress the other night...

I don't give a crap about the criminal. But you have this ideal situation painted in your mind that's not realistic. You think just because you have a gun you can't be hurt, which is exactly what I was talking about. Your gun isn't a trump card. The crook's got a gun and he thinks it's his trump card, between the two of you, it's going to end badly one way or the other. And if your dead because you thought you had the drop on a professional criminal, who's going to look after your family then?

Training my friend. Now I might be the exception to the rule on this but I regularly shoot my fire arms and practice. Like anything if you dont practice you will not be good. Yes then you and the other guy on the same level. Still my fav home protection gun is a shotgun. If the criminal has a handgun its no contest the shotgun will win every time. Its not about trumping him its about assessing the situation then dealing with it. Maybe you dont kill him but how many people do you know that will stay and have a fire fight with you? Or even if they do the cops are on the way to back you up not him. So guns can buy you time or save your life when used properly. Your opinion is like saying why drive cars when your gonna get killed by a drunk driver.

No my opinion is like saying "be vigilant and drive defensively because drunk drivers are out there." Your opinion is like saying "I'm scared of drunk drivers so I'm gonna get the biggest SUV Hummer makes so no one tries to fug with me."
