And they are actually worth every penny! Even for a 29 year old poker player.

It's more likely you will be killed by your shower or bathtub than a home invader.

Right...so sir I'd like to ask what do you do in this situation....

You at home sleeping your wife and kids as well, your get up to go to the bathroom at 2am. Upon walking into the living room you hear noises like someone is fiddling with your lock at the same time you notice someones face is pressed against your bay window peering in...and a car is running on the street in the background...

Proceed sir.....

The question was directed to PHILL who loves these little stats that apparently mean having a gun in the home is not necessary.

I know both emotions are at play, but in the interest of better knowing you personally as an individual, I would like to learn which of the two weighs most heavily.

There doesn't seem to be any reason for me not to have it concealed. I don't want everyone knowing I have a firearm, so I keep it legally concealed. That said, I have no problem with others who want to open carry, I just don't see the point.

I honestly don't get why people get crazy when I point a gun at them. Can someone help?

Not a hollywood movie, lol and I know that is your liberal pussys go to, along with highly irrelevant blanketed stats.

Hope you never have to deal with such situation and glad you find a man protecting his family so funny...

Incase you really cared, Id basically do what zikzak said and turn on the lights, shout I am calling the cops and then call the cops whilst barricading myself and family in a bedroom.

Which is exactly what you should have done even if you have a gun. Anything else is the sucker move.
