Re: Why own a gun?

So I can pop the poor critter from a safe distance with my .22 target pistol. You see, not long ago, the raccoon causing problems here turned out to be a skunk caught in our "humane" live trap. There is also a 9mm in my possession. A Browning Hi-Power to be exact...tuned a bit by a local gunsmith. You see, I'm radical. I'd like to see all rapists, carjackers, child molesters, etc. DEAD! Save us the cost of a trial, court appointed attorneys, etc. Just get a concealed carry permit, and if attacked? KILL the vermin...(edit) All that said, I feel kind of guilty about popping the skunk. It was only being a skunk. Human vermin? Don't think I'd feel as guilty...
