This month, I was going to write about pocket pistols, but I got totally distracted looking for a quote I needed. While looking for it, I stumbled into an online-forum discussion that had a couple quotes that caused me to completely change my subject. A fellow forum member, who worked in a gun store, related the tale of a police officer acquaintance of his who was shopping for a shotgun so as to have something to “keep in the garage so he’d have a gun nearby while he was mowing the lawn.” When the forum member asked him why he didn’t just carry a gun while doing yard work, the officer looked at him like he was crazy.

Normally it's anti-gun BS when somebody says "why have a gun, the thugs will use it against you".
But if you're on the lawn mower and a shotgun is in the open garage, what's to stop them from grabbing it and attacking you with it? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
