I went with my baby to a gun show in Puyallup. HE BOUGHT ME A GUN!!!!!!

If you are in a position where you need to use it (and, tbh, I don't see much attraction in owning one for any other reason) then you can disable (and preferably not kill) your attacker efficiently.

I hear you. I'm from Brazil, where only criminals have guns. So when I come here and fall in love/marry a gun maniac, I was pretty freaked out (not to mention my parents!) Still am to a point. But when you have to sleep with 10+ guns underneath your mattress, and have to see them often because your husband "finds them pretty and likes to hold them" (instead of, let's say, a cat!) it gets more comfortable...

welcome to the gun owners club! what a beautiful gun. I'd protect it cause it will get more priceless with age.
