This is the Only Reason I've Softened Up on Guns

No clue who Dano is. . .

Yes, guns can protect you against wild animals also, sure! More important though, is their ability to protect you against humans intent upon hurting you. . .

So, why don't you buy that argument?

I'm Dano, pleased to meet you.

That's why you have a gun next to your bed when you sleep.

If someone entered my house in the middle of the night without my permission, I think it's safe to assume he means me harm in one way or the other.

Yep chances are if someone sneaks into my house in the middle of the night, they will be carried out on a stretcher or in a body bag.

I have many guns, but am not an NRA nut.
And no trigger locks, and all are loaded, well mostly.... a muzzle loader is not kept loaded.
