I'm 57 years old, and I've NEVER been in a situation where a handgun would have helped me.

I guess that means the sky may be falling, but it hasn't happened yet.

BTW. I was on probation and parole for 18 years of my life. I've been to numerous jails, prison and institutions for herion addiction and related stuff during my 15 years of use. I've been clean and sober for 18 years. So its not that I have not been in situations where something could have happened.

Paranoia(fear) is a killer!

Lighten up - Enjoy life!
