Agreed, but if someone smashes through my door at 2 in the morning and is heading in my direction I rather have a gun even if I don’t need it then need a gun and not have it. In many ways I look at it like a tool.
Of course it is a tool, an extension of yourself, and a potentially very dangerous one, particularly in the dark. Are you going to holler 'Friend or foe?' and give away your position. And shoot blindly at anything that comes near?

Great question Charles!! Maybe a warning shot? What do you think?
Well it is not quite 2am here yet, but I surrender....

I’m out salting a parking lot so my house is an open canvas for crime. It’s 445 here
Cherish that thought. It'll do nicely to keep you awake ;-). (If you're still out there. Must be around noon back there by now.)
