I mean, as a gun owner, if you told me you lived in a NYC apartment and owned a gun for in-home, self defense I'd ask "why?". You're putting the lives of a lot of people around you in jeopardy if you miss (which you almost certainly will at least once). I think if I lived in NYC, in an a place where I was concerned about that, I'd reinforce entryways so I could shelter in place somewhere.
- Koshkin 6y agoSure, sure - only criminals should be able to have guns in a city.
- dragonsky67 6y agoIn the fact that somebody who is not experienced handling and firing a weapon in a stressfull situation is more likely to hurt themselves or an innocent bystander, I think you are correct. I would think that, beyond waking up to find you have an intruder, that having a gun in your house is not going to to you much good if you have a voilent intruder. If somebody decides to bash down your door in a violent range, you are not likely to have the instant access to a weapon that would be required to deal with the situation.
