OK. But if you are so happy with the government, what do you need these

Bears and coyotes mainly. Sometimes puma come down from the hills.


Or... if you live in Detroit, or Trenton, NJ!

And again, I never had a "need" for a gun, so far.
I just "want" them in case.

For instance, NOBODY said you MUST have fire extinguishers or smoke
detectors in certain dwellings.

Sure glad I had plenty of both in '95 when our dryer decided to go
ballistic due to a faulty electrical malfunction INSIDE the dryer.

Took 20 minutes for the Fire Dept to show up after we called 911, and
the FD was only 3/4 miles away!

And I already killed the power, and put the fire out!

In all fairness, the FD did provide me with some really cool Oxygen when
they eventually showed up.

Never had that bottled stuff before!

I suggested that they add something "minty".
