Betzee,

Do you think these whacked-out individuals, like the Kentucky case you cite, wouldn't simply have found a means to snuff off their co-workers had firearms been illegal?

I unerstand what you're saying - I even understand what Presto is saying. I just don't want to give up my right to defend myself living in the middle of nowhere....

"but, if you wish to be prepared like a commando for the one in a million chance you will be looking down the barrel of a gun, then we are back at square one where everyone thinks they need a firearm . . ."
