I am thinking the crackhead escapee might just be canny enough to take your gun away from you and use it on you, your wife and your dog. Then yer fucked. Why risk it?

Statistics show that many guns purchased for protection of a home end up injuring or killing members of the homeowner's family, often children. Somehow these fear mongers don't think it's worthwhile to teach their children about gun safety even though they have one in the house. Stupid.
