If Only They Had A Gun

Mountain View, California police are investigating 18 residential daytime burglaries over the last five months. Police spokeswoman Liz Wylie said that the break-ins have all happened since April in “broad daylight.” In addition to the daytime burglaries, Wylie said there have been similar residential burglaries at night.

In the above situation, and countless others, innocent people have been harmed by the action of a criminal. Had there been an armed, law abiding citizen in the area, tragedy may very well have been averted. Americans use guns for self defense every 13 seconds, and that is perhaps the best reason to have a gun. These people are certainly glad they had a gun for self defense.
