To be perfectly honest Darren, I have no idea haha. I've never inquired about anything related to gun ownership before, but as you suggest it probably is a state by state situation. My weapon of choice for home prevention is, walk into my house and watch how badly i beat the shit out of you with a bat or a broken beer bottle(s)
I'm happy you feel secure enough in your heart not to jump to gun ownership. It's important to feel secure in your home and where you live
