Howdy Polymirize,

You say:"I'm not at all helpless. It's because of the fact that I don't view myself as helpless that I have no need whatsoever for a gun.
It's funny you mention meth by the way. Where I'm from the meth addicts are all the hicks with guns. Welcome to mountain towns I suppose. I never had police within 20 minutes of my home so I've never relied on them...

Also, are you telling me that for "safety's sake" you're always well within 90 seconds of a firearm? Do you have them hidden around the house at all times or do you just carry one strapped to your person? If you think you'll only survive 90 seconds of some incident with a meth addict are you any safer than I am? "

I say: You can have a black-belt--it don't mean that you'd be able to stop a home invasion with several armed men coming at ya..and if their hopped on drugs,yer normal blows won't do much. As for the meth hicks,at least they are smart enuff to know-that they need a gun against the likes of themselves.

I do have a 12 guage,locked and loaded,within 2-5 seconds reach,all I have to do,is flip off the safety..so for the meth head's sake,he better hope the cops are faster than me..which ain't likely.

You cannot sue the cops for failing to protect you..but if you believe in God..you can pray for help. Because being un-armed against a pack of criminals..means that only God can help you. If you have a family,you should sit down and explain to them why you choose not to ensure their safety,and apologize to them now-before ya go down,be sure to make out yer will..it really helps things.

Have a good one ...
