Why not get rid of it ?   At least the US has the right to choose whether to keep a gun for home defence, and you chose to have one, so it obviously does make you feel safer.I'd like the choice too.  At the moment, the best i can do is hit some perp with a non stick frying pan. Well yes, they can still hurt someone but it means i gotta get close enough to use it.  Same with a baseball bat, though the law would take a dim view of owning one, as it could well look like it was kept at home for defence. One would have to buy the big clowns glove and ball to make it look innocent.Personally, i'd prefer to deal with scum from a distance, but i dont get the choice.</blockquote>
