"large." yeah. I honestly don't believe that there's a need for a gun in a home ...especially when children reside in said home. If you stand back and look at it...when someone invades your home they don't do it in a manner that would allow you to think to go..get the gun..take off the lock or safety and then use it to defend yourself. You wouldn't have the time to do that. In all honesty..it'd be alot smarter to hide in the closet with the phone and let the police do the shooting. heh. While I see no logical reason to have a gun in a home with children or in a home AT ALL unless it's for hunting I'm not gonna be stupid enough to blame in home deaths as a result of shooting on a gun. The gun doesn't squeeze it's own trigger.

your views and opinions on having guns in the home. But I disagree with the fact that you don't think there would be enough time to get a gun, in the case of a break in. It takes me less than 2 seconds (literally) to obtain my gun. The way I look at it is that if I hear someone break in, my first thought is that of the safety of my family, and anything I can do to promote that I will, until LEOs arrive. But rest assured, if it comes down to the criminal and one of my family or myself, call the corner and grab my gun cleaning kit. Now I do not advocate violence, but I will not shy away from it if the absolute need arises.

Like I previously posted, guns can exist in a home with children, as long as the parents take the responsibilities that come with owning a gun.
