But see that is where the problem lies. Viewing these handguns as "toys". They are merely "tools". Yes, they are dangerous, VERY; but being blind to them is worse. Because it is not the drug dealers you should be afraid of, its the junkie who needs to get his next fix. He'll pull whatever "tool" he'll have on hand to TAKE the funds he needs in order to achieve his goal. Do you think mace will do the trick as a deterrent? Eh...you could try. I'd rather level the playing field.

But don't get me wrong. I rely on these guns as a LAST resort. The bastard who breaks into my home while I sleep will have my german shepherd, house alarm, and 911 as his LAST WARNINGS. If he still proceeds to my bedroom, well then I have no choice but to stand my ground. Its called the Castle Doctrine and this is why many people love Texas!
