In one of his recent "ramblings" columns, Dr. Sowell, an extremely consrevative columnist weighed in against handguns. The following quote applies:
"As a former pistol marksmanship instructor, I believe a handgun should not be kept in the home for defense. Most people do not possess the requisite marksmanship to use one in a crisis situation. A sawed off shotgun is much more effective and much less likely to draw return fire."
Gotcha! (Got me, too - I was truly disheartened when I read the first sentence...)

"...and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
Luke 22:36
