For starters, the numbers don't lie: odds are more likely that the gun will accidentally kill a member of your family than save them.

Good for him! That said, people should think twice before carrying a sidearm. Same suspects – Young, very dirty and grimey white males with hooded sweatshirts pulled up over their heads, so you could not see their faces. I only logged on here, because I assumed there would be at least one story about a break in last night. Not a soul on the streets, aside from meth heads and transients running downtown Ballard streets. They could have taken anything they wanted and nobody would have seen or heard them. Like something out of a movie, where everyone is killed by a bio weapon, but a few Mad Max types survive and search for supplies. Of course, not a single cop anywhere, so they had the run of the place.

Totally empty streets, with transients paired off ,walking up and down the streets, looking at doors, into windows, and ducking behind buildings and into shadows when they saw me coming. It was like they were window shopping, right out in the open. Ballard Ave, Leary Way and Market street had at least one pair of prowlers working each street.
