James, I'm 52 years old and have had to SHOW a firearm twice in my life to protect myself from serious injury, maybe death. I didn't fire or even point the firearm at anyone. Just the sight of it, and them knowing I was not going to be their victim changed minds. Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms recently put out a documentary of what can/did happen to societies after guns are banned. If you would like to have a reminder of what has and can happen again, I'll send you a copy. No charge, just PM me your address. All I ask is that you view it and maybe pass it on to friends that may believe that guns/gun owners are evil. Take Care.
