Franck: I am Canadian and I was brought up with my dad who was a very liberal person. He has a shotgun in his house, and another firearm we never saw or knew about but he said he had.
The reason he has the gun is because "If someone is crazy enough to endanger my family, I am crazy enough to kill them."
The guns were never loaded, never played with. I KNEW my dad had the guns and I knew where the shotgun was. Yet I am not an idiot and had no desire to put it up to my head or anyone elses and fire a round.
I own a handgun for home protection for the very same reason. I taught my wife who had never even SEEN a gun in person (her dad was a marine, too for fuck sakes :/) to fire it, and she is now a fan of my theory.
I am not a gun toting yokal. I am not in this to be cool. I own a gun 'just in case'.
