I lived in SE DC, S Arlington, VA, Alexandria, VA, and now Harrisburg, PA. None of which are great cities but your right, I have never had to use my martial art. Then again, I can't think of a need to have a gun either. If someone breaks in your house, the only way that gun is going to help you is if its loaded and by your bed. If it is loaded and by your bed and your kid in a sleepy state stumbles in banging against your bedroom door, what happens then?
I am sure you have a great answer and really until that happens neither of us would know. I would choose being robbed over shooting my child, as I am sure you would too. I also would choose not to put my self in that situation.
I am not against people owning guns like I said before. It is your right. Living where I do I have seen some of the people that own guns though and it is down right scary. I just think it needs to be a bit harder to get one.
