I'm currently in the process of getting my conceal and carry permit (only one in my state that allows me to have a handgun). The reason I want a gun is for recreational purpose and self defense. The fact of the matter is, is if I wanted a gun for non legal purposes I could have one in a few hours. It's not hard to find illegal guns, just go to a city and find a crummy part and ask around.
I keep saying this time and time again, it's very rare that the legal gun owner of most gun violence is the one committing the crimes. Almost all school shootings are done by people who legally should have had no way of obtaining the guns (be it family that did not have a secure way of storing the guns or other means).
At the end of the day all I'm saying is when push comes to shove I don't want to be on the wrong end of the barrel.
