I have not locked my cars in probably fifteen years. In the summer I usually leave all the car windows open (all day). Most of my neighbors do the same. It is common to see garage doors open all night in my neighborhood. When I want to throw out something like a bike it can stay on the sidewalk for weeks if I don't put a sign on it that says "free, take me". So it should come as no surprise that we don't really feel the need to own weapons for any reason whatsoever. I enjoy target practice at the range a few times a year with my son. It's fun, and I think it is important to learn --particularly safety. Now, I have lived and worked in areas of Los Angeles where you would not dare leave your car unlocked for one hour. I've had car stereos and whole cars stolen from right outside my window in those areas. What did we do? We moved. Ultimately you need to consider what it is you want from life. If I have to own a weapon to feel safe at home I am living in the wrong place. I realize one isn't always free to make these kinds of choices. I get it. I also have to question if owning a few guns is of any use whatsoever as it pertains to curtailing a corrupt or over-reaching government. Perhaps my point is that, if we have to resort to an internal armed conflict to bring our government in line we will have already failed at so many levels that this will, at that time, in no way resemble the country I grew up in.
