Because you have a false sense of security and are naive.
You should have been here during Katrina, when the Cops were gone. LAW? the only law there was was what could be enforced my your own hand!
You poor soul. With no gun, you are defenseless in time of emergency. You are the mercy of the crack-heads like the ones who shot a neighbor of mine after Katrina. He, too, had no gun and I bet he felt like he would never need one.
I'd rather die reaching for my gun than cowering in the corner; crying and begging someone not to kill me!

Oh, and don't post your address, criminals browse message boards about gun control to find people who oppose it and freely admit they have no guns. Their risk of death in a home invasion goes WAAAYYY down! Just a thought.
