RE: That's fine. I also grew up in a household with rifles. Handguns are

I think that assault rifles should be limited to the military and law enforcement. I see no reason for any law abiding citizen to own one.

I feel super safe where I live now. That wasn't always the case. When I lived in the city, we were burglarized. My wife walked in while it was going on - very scary. Luckily, they ran out the back while she was running out the front and we just lost some stuff. After that, someone tried to break in early one morning after I had left for work but my wife was still home. That was when I bought a couple of hand guns and taught my wife to shoot. A neighbor next door and across the street were burglarized. The lady across the street was burglarized three times. Cars were broken into weekly. I had my car and a company car broken into. They just broke out the window on the street side and took whatever. It was very inconvenient leaving for work to have to vacuum glass and install plastic in place of a window.

Car break-ins occur almost nightly in a very nice area of the city. It's on the news a few times a week. One guy said that his truck had been broken into eight times. Armed teenagers are constantly car jacking people. These kids are as young as 13-15. Two kids carjacked a woman and shot and killed her recently. There is currently a fight over trying them as adults.

We moved to a suburb where we lived for 30+ years that was safer than the city. We had one burglary of a neighbor there and one neighbor got car jacked as he was pulling into his driveway last year. There is spill over crime in the suburbs.

Where I live now is about as safe as it gets.
