My wife is from Colombia. She was a bit horrified when she learned of the big safe and it's contents. But when I asked her who owns guns in Bogata, she remarked "only the police and the criminals, and sometimes it is hard to tell which is which". I pointed out that up here, the regular citizens have rights, and can choose to be armed, if they wish. The light bulb went on, and she is solidly in the pro camp now as well.
A side note, I love my wife dearly, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. But, if anything ever happened and she wasn't my wife anymore, God fordid, I can assure you I would never attempt this again, with anyone, under any circumstances.
There is way more potential for things to go badly, than for things to go well, and you guys that try this two, three, four, or however many times, mystify me.
Wasn't it Lyle Lovette who sang "Once is enough"?
I'm in that camp.

Best,
Ted
