I believe in gun control, and in banning those that are particularly deadly, but not an outright ban on all guns. That seems very unreasonable and very "big governmenty" to me.
No that is a myth, even with guys.
If someone ALREADY has a gun aimed at you, trying to introduce your own and aim it at them is far more likely to get you killed, than trying to comply or run away.
Even if all they have is a knife, I wouldn't assume introducing a gun would protect you.
Don't fool yourself into thinking pretend scenarios work 100% of the time. Only training and constant upkeep of training with or without a firearm are what can get you through a potential conflict.
But I do agree, I am not for an all out ban either, but we make too many and they are too easy to get.
If someone were to break into my house while I am in it, I would shout at them, "I have my cell phone and I have called the police". I wouldn't present myself, but shout at a distance where they could not see me.
