It's the only reason to own a gun. I own a gun for that exact reason myself. Home defense is important, world is going to honeysuckle, I live in a rough area. I'm not too far away from Orlando, wherein a couple of months ago a man shot someone and left the crime scene, then came back a few hours later, shot the reporter who was there to report about it, and randomly entered the nearby home of an elderly woman and her grandson wherein he shot both the old woman and her 7 year old grandson before the police got to him.
What a very sick person. At least he will spend his life in prison.
