It looks like you'd need one today if you still lived in the UK due to the high violent crime rate and gun violence there, despite the "ban" on guns.We grew up around shot guns in the UK for game shooting etc., and the requirements/licensing are pretty rigid. Never thought we'd ever own a hand gun but..............now we do. Have a metal box/safe that goes between the night stand and the bed that has a combination lock to undo it in a rush if needed. At least it keeps it away from prying grandchildren. Such a shame we feel we have to keep a loaded gun in the house to protect oneself :smt089 Whole world's gone to hell in a handbasket IMHO.
