There’s also the issue of practice. Depending on the gun, recoil and noise can be minimal to shocking. If you’re not trained to deal with your weapon, it could drastically affect its efficacy. Plus, training is something you need to refresh as well. You have to maintain your skills just like you have to maintain your weapon. And of course, they’re not toys, and each state has rules about how and where they can be carried, or how to legally store them....all of which is why I don’t own a gun.</blockquote>
