Here in Colorado, we have a "make my day" law... somebody comes into your house, you have the right to shoot and kill them, no questions asked. But you'd better hope the guy doesn't manage to get outside and bleed on your lawn or your sidewalk, or you're going to do some serious jail time.

On the other hand, if I go out and buy a Rottweiler and train it to kill on command and that animal kills or maims an intruder, I could be looking at a year in court facing "possession of a vicious animal" charges in addition to whatever the intruder wants to file against me (given that he's still alive)... thousands of dollars in court costs and possible fines and maybe even jail time for choosing to defend my property and the lives of myself and my son MY way (ie, without a firearm). Oh, and my dog would be destroyed, also.

I do not own guns because I had a close call with one (wrong place, wrong time) when I was younger... it's purely a personal thing. I don't really have a problem with responsible individuals who are properly trained having handguns... to each his own. However, when the NRA or other gun lobbying groups start determining that it's better for me to own a gun than a trained guard dog and then they get the governmental bodies brainwashed into believing them... THAT I have problems with, major problems in fact. Tells me a helluva lot about the mindset of the country I live in, too, and not a lot of what it's telling me is good.
