My father bought me a single barrel shotgun when I was 12. I learn to hunt with this gun. I was drafted into the Army in 1966 and returned home in '68. After I married in '69 and had a couple of kids I bought a couple of pistols to shoot for fun. I enjoy history so I read magazines and books to learn the history that goes with guns. Guns are like cars. They both have a history and are mechanical. Most men like mechanical things. Tools, boats, guns, cars, buildings, etc. Over the years I bought guns that I can use to protect family and myself but I have never used one for protection. I have a lot of insurance that I have paid for thru the years that I have not used. Maybe it's the same thing. I feel good knowing that I have this insurance. History has proved many times over that some men will try to rule over others with violent force. Guns in the hands of good men can hold these evil men at bay. Governments are made up of men, some good, some bad. Look at the last 20 years of history in the world. Are all people free to do what they want to do? Do gangsters and police dept terrorize the people?
I just sleep better knowing that I and a lot of people in the U.S.A. have guns in their homes.
