a major driver here. A few will be convinced they should get a gun because there are "crazy" ppl out there... Pretty funny - background check also registers guns' ownership so if gun seizure -were- to come about, they would know where to go to get the guns.

If you believe they're "comin' to get your guns", seems to me having more won't make any difference, but heck, that's just me...

I grew up in Montana - rifles in every pickup window in a rack - usually two.
