Several years ago, I had an interesting conversation with my sister. She is your sterotypical Northeastern US Liberal. Bill CLinton should be nominated for saint hood type of thing.
She knows that I own guns. ALL purchased legally. Her opinion was "You have a police department. You do not need a gun."
My position was "Yes, Fayetteville, NC has a police department. A very good one most of the time. But what if they can not get to me during a crisis. (Read bad guy in house). What am I supposed to do? I am going to defend my self and my wife."
At least she said she would think about that. She never did come back with her answer.
So, thank you, founders of the USA. THank you for the Second Amendment. I would like to think that IF the Redcoats were marching down the road to take away a stockpile of weapons for the local militia, I would have been at Lexington Bridge.
