I have a friend of mine who lives in the same home town here, and he goes shooting every weekend and has a dozen firearms because he's worried that his "house might be invaded" or someone will break in at night and threaten them. He owns a small glass cleaning, recently married, and recently became a father. Other than his firearms, he has little of value. He made some comments about Obama and potential gun laws that cracked me up - He told me he would go to war with the government if they tried to take away his AR15. Why is it that he lives in fear like this when he lives in the same town with a rather low crime rate?
