[quote=jstoesz]I would like more people to own a gun, I think we would all be safer. But me personally, I am such an optimist (nothing bad will ever happen, and I am invincible besides) that I keep putting off the purchase. There are just too many cool things to buy for a few hundred bucks.[/quote]
