You know what, there is a reason for them. Like I have said before, collection, shooting range and also for self protection. Mankind is evil and we only need to look at what happened in New Orleans to see that. It isn't that far of a stretch for a disaster to hit anywhere in North America, including Alberta. If something happened like that here and everything went to hell, I would want to have something to protect my family from the gangs and crowds from raping, pillaging and murdering my family. It has happened in recent times and it will happen again. Just image that that day comes and a gang of thugs shows up at your door and decides to do what ever they want to you and your family because you have no way to protect them and yourself.
If humans were not so evil, might be a different story.
