True True Rouge did not think about that...
Personally I would rather be shot than hammered to death, but that is just me.
I think there are many misconceptions about gun control. Not many of the rural towns where everyone hunts and has guns have high crime rates. But in the big cities where there are very restrictive gun control laws there is gun violence. Why is that?

I'd rather be attacked with a hammer and have a chance to save myself, but if I was going to go, I agree, getting shot would be preferable. Neither would be better obviously. I don't feel I have to worry about either though.
I'm no criminologist but I know there are many reasons above and beyond "the criminals know you won't have a gun to defend yourself". That may be part of it but a very small part I'd say. They are criminals after all. They don't worry too much about getting caught or shot I'd think.
Are there more restrictive gun control laws in the big cities? For example in Florida would there be stiffer rules in Miami than in Ocala?
