not like I live in the hood, BUT, if If IF someone ever came banging on my door in some psychotic state wanting to physically injure or kill myself or my family you BET YOUR ASS I don't want to have to wait 20 minutes for the cops to show up to see / chance it that the freak couldn't get in and do what he/she wanted to....esp if THEY are armed...
criminals usually don't give a shit about laws and will be armed anyways...
I look at these as basic human necessities:
1) to feed myself & family (may require a gun)
2) to shelter myself & family
3) to clothe myself and family
4) to PROTECT myself and family (may require a gun)
doesn't get much more basic than that...
as long as violence is part of human nature then the ability to protect oneself is a necessary evil :/

and thats why americans are the most violent people in the world. Untill you see that this "I need to protect my family with a gun" stuff is all bologne and it just makes it easier to get guns on the streets, you guys will always have more murders, more crime, etc.
