Umm.. about guns. Firearms which are kept for the sole sake of a house's security (as opposed to, say, a hunting rifle that is actually used once in a while) statisctically make the house less secure. Accidental deaths/injuries cause by domestic firearms are much more frequent than actual cases of defense. You don't need firearms. Things like steak knifes, cast-iron skillets, lamps and other real-life-tools-also-useable-as-bashing/stabbing-weapons can be arranged to where they are easily accesible in just about any room... but since they actually serve a practical purpose, they are much less likely to cause unintended harm. Ha! This coming from a soilder.
