I like how you wrote this article and broke things down the way you did. Guns are EVIL..... No, I am kidding, guns are not evil. People can be evil and something use guns against others. I know, I digress. Let me get back on target. I have a gun safe with several handguns and long guns. I also have a concealed weapons permit and I carry a weapon with me on occasion for self defense purposes. If I am out and about at night time or out of town I carry one for protection. I also practice extreme avoidance . Anyway, thank you for a level headed discussion about guns and gun culture.
