But a gun would sure be handy.

Yeah, a gun would be handy.  Which is why there aren't ax-wielding maniacs anymore.  They all have guns.

That's a fair point.  Suppose the axe-wielding maniac is a gun wielding manic and shoots you through the door or the window before you even know he's there.  He can then retrieve his axe from the boot of his car and dismember you at his leisure.

So what's your plan?

Roll over and die?

I dunno. I' 'll stick to guns. Some chance is better than no chance.

My plan is not to worry about such an unlikely event.  

I mean what's your plan if someone poisons your food?  What's your plan if someone blows up your house with a bomb?  What's your plan if someone smothers you with a pillow in your sleep after sneaking into your house while you're away, waiting for you to come home and go to bed to murder you in your sleep.

So yeah - you roll over.

Enjoy.

Just how many Ax Murderers have you thwarted with your handy dandy gun anyway?

If only we stopped selling knives....this was a knife incident, right?

Guns ARE the only choice for home defense. That's why so many people get dogs that have CCW permits.

Dog - noun - an inefficient, unreliable excuse for home defense that shits on your lawn (if you're lucky), chews on the furniture - and if given the chance - will roll on a dead skunk then crawl in bed with you......


I'll pass...

Probably less than the number of people you put off with your personality.....

Okay, so you never met a dog that would have you. It happens.
