I did read recently about the youth who was shot because he knocked on the wrong door.

We're thought about having a gun in the house. However don't really seeing us being the winner in a shoot-out.

It happens all the time. About a week ago a tenant with brain damage for whom a local charity rents a unit at a self storage facility in Albuquerque, NM threatened the female site manager with a baseball bat and a knife. She immediately called 911 but he continued to threaten her. She finally pulled out a gun to defend herself and he took off. It took the city police 40 minutes to get there. He could/would have beat her to death and/or sliced her up and scrammed long before any cops arrived. Good thing she had the gun in her desk drawer!
