Gotta agree about what will a gun do? I have no issues with owning a gun, many of my family members do own them at home. I've been raised with guns in the house, but I am not qualified to own them. I don't feel the need currently to own a gun. I think it might hurt the situation more than helping it.
We used to live between 2 cops in a bad neighborhood. I asked them once about owning a gun? Both gave me the same answer, get a big dog. Ah well, I got two small white furballs. Guess I'm screwed.
Truth is that I also grew up with german shepard and a doberman in the house. We'd been burglarized when my mom got the dobie, and never again. Previously, my grandparents house a man tried to walk into the yard at night and the german shepards bite basically his face off. No one entered the farm again without calling.
Interestingly my grandfather wanted to see what one would do with us kids in the car. Couldn't get near the car unless you wanted your throat torn out. These were trained show quality german shepards. Then my grandpa got a rott and that too was quite protective.
Guess I'll get a real dog one day.
