Also with some of the pocket pistols that are available today, they fit in your pocket in a pocket holster, leave no print and are easy to get to if needed.
I would only use my firearm to protect myself, my loved one or someone who was being violently attacked in my presense. Otherwise, if I or my family are not in danger, I would back away from the situation, grab that wonderful invention call the cell phone, call 911 and let the professionals handle the situation. Now on the other hand if you are smashing in my door or window at night and attempting to gain entry to my home, you are placing yourself in extreme danger. Besides being ankle chewed by my mini doxie, you would have to face my enraged wife for messing up her window/door and brother, let me tell you that is one thing that you would want to avoid at all costs. |
My questions were directed at carrying. Keeping a firearm in the home is another subject.
I had a permit to carry, concealed as well as open, years ago. I never carried when not "working". When the need no longer existed I surrendered my right to carry.
I keep a firearm in my home as I feel it is prudent.
BTW, the closest I have come to using it was when the doorbell rang and my wife yelled "there is a naked man at the door". It was about 8:00 AM on a Saturday. By the time I got to the door a young man, totally nude, was walking away from our front door. Police apprehended him and determined he was stoned and probably thinking he was going for a shower. It wasn't in The Villages but it was a nice neighborhood.
