Well berto, good for you, sounds like you're a bit better prepared for the unpleasant event should it arise. Stay safe and here's hoping neither of us ever have to use our guns.

IMHO, I think anyone that purchases a gun should come to a decision as to whether or not they can pull the trigger in the moment of truth before they get it.


While most of the time that is true, it isn't always. You don't really need to make that tough decision when buying a little gun for Timmy as long as you don't plan on using that particular gun for protection.

In any instance where a gun will be used for self defense, its owner/buyer should have already considered whether or not they can pull the trigger if they need to. But like Agentzak said - there are plenty of non-threatening uses for guns. If you just want something to shoot with because going to the range is fun - you shouldn't have to face that decision; but then you have to always remember that that gun is never to be put towards self defense until you've made that decision. ie - if you put the decision off until a later date, you should never think to yourself that your gun is for protection.
