Relying on your ability to beg for your life probably isnt the best idea.

I understand why people are for gun control, what I don't understand is how anyone could think its going to stop incidents like this from happening. It's going to create an ever bigger black market for guns and put even more power into the hands of criminals.
Well I suppose I could go for your macho way of dealing with things but fortunately for me due to the advent of home insurance for fire, theft & flood that means I don't have to act like John McClane and get involved in running gun battles to keep my LCD TV.
And to be honest even if it wasn't available I don't think there is a single possession in my home that's more important than saving my own life.
