It makes sense. Handguns are much more useful
because they are easy to handle. Your rifle for deer...?
Nah...
My wife would kill me (strangulation or food poisoning)
before she ever let a gun in the house. Daughter off
to college, does not matter.
But....
If we lived out aways, without police close... And we got
robbed. I bet she might ask me to go to class and apply
to use one of her dad's old handguns (currently with sis). Its a funny
thing how people are apt to change with experience or
bad experiences.
I consider my body a lethal weapon (especially my intestines
after the right type of dinner), so I have no worries.

see, that's the thing. we're out in the middle of nowhere, and i sure don't want to have to count on these yahoos to 'protect' me. that's a laugh. the closest city to me is el dorado-an hour away, population of about 22k. then there's monroe la, an hour south-not much bigger than el dorado. closest 'large' city is little rock-and that's over two hours away. i don't think most of the folks in this thread engaging in this debate can relate to the situation here at all. i have FAR more danger from the animal population than from the human one.
as for the handgun, like i sait-it was a hand me down-and the only one i own...
