As a child I was shot at by a 15 year old who stole his father's gun.
I found him later that summer unarmed, and attacked him with a two-by-four till he stopped trying to get up. I was only 13 at the time, and later that year he was gunned down by two high school kids who drove up on him, and shot him and his friend down with shotguns.
I know how to use guns, and love going to the firing range with friends I trust, but I personally choose not to own a gun. I respect people's right to own them, but if it comes down to hurting someone else surprise and blunt objects work for me. I hope it never ever comes down to that again.
