Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[Thumpalumpacus]

Well, if y'all did, would my reason be classed as "self-defense"?

I've never had a burglar show up at my doorstep here, but I've had coyotes, and have seen cougar tracks.

I honestly couldn't say.  I know that farmers sometimes get licenses to trap or shoot nuisance wildlife, maybe something like that would apply.

But I think the 'self defense' admonition might be intended to apply to people who show up at the police station demanding a gun license so they can finally deal with that noisy neighbor.  (just as guess, as I've never been through the licensing process)

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. When it comes down to it, criminals are much more controllable than wildlife.
