I mentioned elsewhere that I have twice had guns pointed at me by people other than law enforcement officers. On neither occasion would my having a gun done anything else but exacerbate the situations.

People who suggest that no one have guns are as out to lunch as those who say anyone should have guns.

I use guns as a tool. I hunt and then use the gun to kill meat. I suppose I could use trapping techniques and clubs instead, but one bullet is faster and easier. From my perspective, guns have no utility beyond target practise and hunting.
