I always resisted the idea of keeping a gun at home until the Los Angeles riots in 92.
At the time, I lived in a very affluent city with my wife and children. During the rioting, thugs started loitering on street corners to see if others might show up so they could join in on the looting and pilageing. My father-in-law pleaded with me to buy a gun until things were under control. So, I bought a 12 guage pump shot gun and a modest amount of ammo.
To be honest, I don't like the idea of owning a gun in the middle of suburbia. But, after witnessing the way scum reacts during a period of civil crisis, I am glad I have one. After reading this thread, I think I am going to buy a couple more cartons of buckshot and slugs.
