Reply #31: Not EVERY story here

[Nevernose]

For instance, in another post, I listed several things a person can do to prevent their homes from being robbed -- far more effective than owning a gun.

At the end of that post, I recounted the story of the last time I was robbed. I had three guns stolen in that robbery -- a .38, a .45 (both Colts), and a S&W 9mm. They apparently didn't find my other weapons, which, due to my child's age, I have since put into storage.

Most non-domestic gun crimes occur with stolen weapons. People, if you own a gun and you're not home, lock the fucking thing up. If you have kids, leave it locked up at all times anyway. A decent gun safe will cost you less than a gun. It'll take about as long as putting on a seatbelt would, and is just as likely to save a life.

Gun owbership is about one percent safety, and ninety-nine percent responsibility.

Okay, lecture over.
