Please don't take this set of questions the wrong way......remember, I am on your side. I am also, however, always interested in the nature of facts and where people get them.
Second question, kinda: Any one not familiar with these conversations/threads might well wonder where all of us live that we are so concerned with break-ins, multiple attackers in our homes at night and so on. I am not asking to know where you live but I do wonder about the likelihood of these dark scenarios. That being written....I am also fond of saying to people the "you only have to be wrong once" for a life to change. Are break-ins common where you live?

Surveying all of those events......are there any records of people defending their homes using the weapons, etc. that we are discussing? I mean situations where the gun/magazine was needed and used as opposed to being on hand. (I understand that there is a value to the weapon being on hand, even if not used).Justin, you make some very good points and I couldn't agree more. I do however have an additional point that I would make because I have direct experience with these incidents. I grew up in LA and was around for the Watts Riots as well as the Rodney King and OJ riots and several disasters like earthquakes, fires and floods. When and if these types of events occur mobs also form. That would be my final argument after exhausting the ones you mention. Oh, don't for get Katrina and Sandy for more recent events.
