Uncle responds to a challenge
Jake Drew:
"How does a gun make anyone feel safer? Please – I dare anyone out there to explain it to me. "
They don’t make me feel safer. The actually do make me safer. Feelings have nothing to do with it.
I left a comment, but it wasn't published. Maybe Jake just didn't get around to it or that my single incident proves him absolutely wrong.
I will never go into details because it was not a pleasant experience and nothing to boast of, but I personally have defended my own life using a firearm. No shots fired, and the attackers fled. No more detail needed.
For me, the gun saved my life. If that doesn't define safe, then I don't know what does.
However, I have a feeling that people like Jake won't accept anything as an answer since it doesn't fit within his world view. So in closing, I will repost my challenge to Jake.
How would have being disarmed made me safer when I had several individuals threatening to kill me?
