Gosh, what you learn here! I wasn't aware that gorillas
kicked in doors. The only time that ever happened to me it wasn't by a gorilla but by a petty thug who kicked in the door, stole my wife's purse, and ran like hell away.

Mind you, we were both upstairs; I was in bed. My firearms were in the basement, and even if I had a weapon nearby the punk was GONE long before I went downstairs to see what was happening.

Of course, I suppose that I could have waited around, shotgun in hand, for the thief to show up. I do, however, have other things to do with my life.

Guest, your paranoia about firearms is silly. If you know how, you can obtain (or make) firearms and many other weapons, but I'm certainly not going to tell YOU how to do it.

Besides, if I'm in a place where I need a weapon, I probably shouldn't be there at all.

Oh, and let me point out that I've been shooting - quite accurately, thank you -- since I was 11 years old. I own several firearms and I have a "concealed carry" permit (which I don't use). Long ago I learned that these weapons are tools, just like a hammer. They are not a solution.
