Only for the stupid and uninformed.

I like the fact that I can fire a gun accurately and in order to maintain that skill I must USE IT!!! Which means I have to go out shooting in the woods or at a legal range in order to keep myself accurate. If you buy a gun and never shoot it you will be more of a danger to yourself and your family if you ever attempt to use it against a criminal.
It is a defense mechanism designed to preserve the life of your family and innocents. If it is needed and you can save lives by shooting a madman I am sure everyone here would hail that person a hero!!

Do you know that a while back a guy defended himself against a killer by shooting the guy and the pussy lawyer for the dead guys family tried to suggest that the defendant was dangerous because he carried an extra clip for his gun!!!!!

That is a ludicrous mindset. An absolutely insane viewpoint.
