Now saying that, I really really dislike handguns. They generally have one purpose, shooting each other. Yes, it can be used for "defense" to shoot someone, but it still boils down to, the main purpose of a handgun is for shooting a person.

I have had shotguns since I was around 9 years old. I currently have a 12 gauge with a trigger lock that has never been removed and the gun has never once been fired. I will always have it, whether I have the need to fire it or not.

To get even more blunt, I think handguns are for cowards. I always smirk at the little cowards walking around with handguns strapped to their waists to make sure everyone knows they are armed. If I am so scared to leave the house without a gun then I dont deserve to leave the house.

You would reconsider these words if you were stuck in the southside of Chicago at night. Detroit? C'mon man there are plenty of places that you would be extremely happy to have a fully loaded hand gun. Otherwise take the beating, hospital stay or even possibly the end of your existence. Food for thought. NEVER SAY NEVER.
