Billy, You don't know anything about me or what I have in my house.  I don't need my gun the same way that you "need" yours to protect you. 

It's not my fault or my problem that a gun is the ONLY way you're capable of protecting yourself.  I have been doing a fine job of protecting myself for the past 30years without ever having to fire a bullet or call a cop. I've lived in cities you probably couldn't even walk through.  Including New Rochelle NY, Philly York PA & Chicago IL.  

While the gun is a backup and a handy one as I get older (I don't move as fast as I used when too) facts are I feel sorry for the fool stupid enough to break into my home.  Whereas your fully loaded weapon under your pillow is more than likely to get taken & used on you because the gun is the only tool you apparently have at your disposal.  I haven't had my house broken into so I guess you should be more worried about yourself than me; My parents made sure their daughter was trained to do more than just shoot
