With a gun in your face...what is the benefit of a handgun, stowed away somewhere in your car?
I do see the need for self-defense in the states, but honestly I am more scared of a nutter with a gun going mental.
As I had to serve in the army, loooooong time ago, i had to fire all possible guns. Been there, done that. Most fun was the MG3...everything else is a toy
No need to carry guns here, thank god.
