have you ever fired a gun in the house?

Well, judging by the stories so far, keeping a gun in the house seems to have much more to do with dangerous accidents than killing bad people.

I think few would dispute that having a gun might be nice if someone breaks into your home intent on killing you, but the "liberal" argument is that the harm from the chance of misuse and accidents vastly outweighs the good from crime deterrence.

You need to stop listening to the whiney liberal media. Crime is a people problem, not a gun problem.

I don't really see what this has to do with guns going off in homes and killing children! this sounds like an argument gun control laws, which really isn't what I was getting at. that's a whole other taco!

What are you gonna do if an intruder breaks in at zero-dark-thiry and is wielding a knife or gun? Grab your phone and hide under the bed and call 911?

something like that, yes. I think the probability of that happening times the damage they would cause is less than the probability of one of my [future] children finding my gun and killing themselves. but that's just me, a person who is incompetent with weapons.

If you honestly don't want weapons in your house, that's fine. But forcing your irrational, emotionally immature fear of weapons on others is how we got these worthless gun control laws to begin with. Sorry for the rant.

woah! I understand that you are frustrated, but chill out my friend! my intent was only to point out that there's another way of looking at this. if you know how to use your weapons and how to keep them from your children, then I think you have a pretty good case for keeping weapons in the house.

FWIW I have more ammo in my house right now than the entire local police force combined, along with one of those EVIL AK-47's among other guns.

P.S. We're really the good guys.

I tested homemade silencers on .22's and fired these in my closed garage. I don't know if this qualifies as in the house.
