You say a "man" shouldn't have a gun for protection. Well... there are many uses for guns but protection is important.
How do you feel about women having guns for protection? or should they just submit and hope they live? How bout old or infirm people? do they need proitection or should they simply call the police? How bout a young guy like yourself? would you need protection from say 4 gang members trying to jack your car and you in a parking lot or would you just beat the crap out of em?
I am looking at a gun safe with maybe a dozen or so very interesting guns in it. I have thousands of rounds of factory and personal reloads for all of em.. It is sometimes hard to pick a gun for plinking... plinking sesions are enjoyed by everyone (including beetle) who I have ever taken out.
Other than that I don't have much to add to the gap thing except that I really like my Kimber and would get a compact if I wanted a 45 to carry. 7-9 rounds is plenty. My newest gun of choice for social interaction is a 12 oz. Smith 340pd in .357 magnum loaded with federal 125 hollowpoints.

well presented. and good points
i admit my view may be ignorant, but like samuri, i think we should have more honour in our confrontations.
i realise this is impossible in most societies cos someone whill always have a gun.
saying this i would love having a gun to target practie with and i dont see guns as a bad thing, just relying on them foir your safety seems sad.
although i am not in the right country to make any judgment
