Seriously people. There is nothing wrong with owning a firearm for self defense

@Shutterbug is there protection from
Making stupid statements ? Or bad spelling ?

@TexChik bad spelling?

@TexChik ...ok here we use British English ok!

Like colour, favourite, etc etc

@Shutterbug that's exactly how I feel!!! We don't really hold guns in ireland in our homes... but I have a big hurly stick in my bedroom.

@Dusty101 well there are about 3 cricket bats in our house.....so if a crook turns up with a ball....it's game on! 😏

@Shutterbug we use the British english too in ireland

@Dusty101 ... nice googling!😜

@Shutterbug thanks... sometimes I just need to know these things... often wonder why the "u" is dropped in colour neighbour favour etc?

@Dusty101 there was a doco I watched on why. The u was dropped as Americans, after the revolution, wanted their own language. But they also have influences as well from Dutch and French settlers as well, like ketchup. Etc.

@Shutterbug it's very interesting alright!

@Shutterbug and ... as a result of Brit tyrannical influence , we also have a constitution and rights that are guaranteed so that something like what the Brits did will never happen again .
