The only time I would consider owning a gun would be as a property owner in the country - and that would be to take care of varmints (4-legged and/or winged). I have never been shot at - gone hunting with shotguns, 22 rifles and some cute little automatic pistol that couldn't hit shit but was fun to fire. I found that I was not a hunter, and not a real fan of target shooting, and I haven't handled a gun for like 25 years or more. I try not to visit folks that would keep a gun or baseball bat by the door for insurance purposes, and it's been decades since I wandered the fields and back alleys all pissed up and naive - which is usually the way folks get shot at. I don't have an issue with anyone who wants to have a gun. Just so long as junior can't fish it out of the closet and blow away his sister or something then you can have all the guns you want.
