Guns for defense
August 28, 2007
Reference the editorial "Fun and firearms," Aug. 10: Why would you have any of our constitutional rights suspended in a public place? The gun-rights crowd never complains that a reporter shows up to an event.
Did you know firearms are used defensively over 2.5 million times a year? Did you know in over 80 percent of self-defense cases when the victim can produce a firearm no one, not even the criminal, is injured?
Just because you imagine gun owners to be unsafe doesn't make it so.
