how does root having a shotgun under his bed deter crime? unless he has a sign on his door that says owner carries loaded weapon, and a shirt that says armed at all times. no criminal is going to assume he has a shotgun or there would never be crime.
its not the fact that people have guns or what they do with them, its that they are so fanatical in their beliefs that if they don't have a gun theyre doomed to be robbed raped murdered...
If thats the kind of place where you live, get the fuck out then instead of going just as crazy as the criminals in your self defense.
heading out, probly wont check this for a few days =p

The possibility of the owner of a home having a gun most certainly does reduce crime. Not just for that home owner, but the community as a whole. This is because the criminal must assign some probability to running into an angry gun wielding owner, and assess the cost of such a circumstance to the benefit of getting free stuff. This is, unless the criminal knows exactly which houses have guns and which do not.
