[QUOTE="Rich Stern, post: 647416, member: 52580"] TJR, there are practical issues, such as accidents, as you mentioned, and there are philosophical issues. Do you believe that people have a right to defend themselves and their property from criminal attack? My view is, people who cede this right are too willing to cede other rights as well. If we aren't responsible for our own well-being, then we usually expect the government to be responsible for it. That's not a healthy attitude for a society, because government has proven to be a poor custodian of most things ceded to it by the people. Gun ownership is a choice and carries high responsibilities. Safety. Training. Security. If someone defending their home with a gun shoots mistakenly, the consequences, mental and legal, belong solely to them. That's the price of living in a free society. You can't not be held responsible for your actions. Likelihood? Well, I've never needed my car insurance policy (thankfully). Would it be wise for me to cancel it? [/QUOTE]
