It's "point and shoot" accuracy is great for those "late night visitors" and it's range is less than that of a rifle so it's safer for your neighbors. There is also the indimidation factor of the CLICK CLACK sound of a shell being chambered, you may not even have to shoot.<BR/><BR/>Robin, you said it. The police provide for the protection of the general public, not you or me in paticular. This means they are responsive to crimes committed and lock of offenders (with the exception of multnomah county) to prevent future crimes. Unless you are armed and prepared to defend yourself a person who intends to kill you will not be stopped by police.<BR/><BR/>Tim, that's a great sticker... for victims!<BR/><BR/>Gunslinger, I know of no law that would prevent you from completing a private transaction in the parking lot of a gun turn-in.<BR/><BR/>Bob, that's why I don't oppose VOLUNTARY turn-ins in principle.

They do not have the resources to take care of the problems that we have already to protect their citizenship.<BR/><BR/>Also, and this is just a theory of mine, I believe that one of the reasons why we are still a FREE country, is because nobody really knows how many people own weapons and where they are.<BR/><BR/>I agree that I'd am not opposed to VOLUNTARILY surrendering the weapon if you want a means of disposing of it.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265769147425611176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1128046423418348372005-09-29T19:13:00.000-07:002005-09-29T19:13:00.000-07:00Total agreement.
