If the pistol had been in their nightstand, where I keep mine at night, one of them could have easily taken it out, and shot at the intruder. And even if they didn't kill him, they would have slowed him down or something, possibly saving one or both of their lives. And when the guy kicked the door in, I'm quite sure they would have been awake. I can find links to pages describing all of the events and people I'm writing about if you want. Well in that case, it's a shame they didn't have a gun (although they might have still wound up dead). But as anyone who's seen the end of The Godfather can attest, by the time someone with a shotgun knocks down your bedroom door, it's too late. I realize it's just a movie (although some would argue that point), but I think that part could easily happen in real life.
You don't have to argue your point though. Just because I would personally never own a gun, doesn't mean I'm against other people's right to do so. I don't think we need to necessarily take away every individual's firearms, even though I certainly support more restrictive gun laws. I do realize there are responsible people out there - although that number seems lower and lower every day. And I'm not just referring to carelessness with guns, I'm talking about general idiocy.
