Great reason to lock your doors and have a gun ready at home...

Never know what would have happened if they were armed.

There could have been a standoff that gave the police time to respond, or the murderers could have been killed.

Maybe the people who broke in would have been scared and stoped breaking in.

Maybe the woman would have been killed too.

MY point is we don't know for sure. It used to be said that if you're being raped you shouldn't struggle and you wouldn't get hurt. However, more recent studdies showed you're more likely to be injured or killed if you don't fight back.

by four or five intruders who were probably looking for weapons and drugs, authorities said.

If they were drug dealers (didnt read the whole article, only what Nav said), who had firearms, it seems that didnt do them too much good, did it?

They just needed bigger guns........ IM JOKING!

Bleh, this is the kinda news that pisses you off. I don't think people having guns in their homes is enough actually. They should have training with a gun so they know how to use it effectively if something ever should happen.

When I get out of the military and buy a home I'm definitly going to have a beretta in my nightstand.

You do realize that stuff like this happening is extremely rare... right? This isn't like an everyday thing in America.

Europe's got its fair share of crime as well.

I agree that guns aren't enough, but that the people should be trained in useing them. This has always been my position on guns. Educate people on how to use them properly and we can avoid accidents, but trying to remove them all togeather, is doomed to f--- things up more(at least in the US).

I dont know about all of Europe, but last I heard, Switzerland was a relitively crime-free country, and every house has an automatic weapon in it.

I'm freaked out about crime. I keep a metal baseball bat in my room always...and in reaching distance...
