From: "George Cassell" 
Subject: A Question of Security
I need your advice.  I'm legally blind, and I'm very concerned about
security (both home and personal).  
Where I live, it is legal to own and use a gun in self-defense in one's
home.  
But one may not carry it on one's person outside the house without a
permit, which is almost never issued.
I live alone, and nobody should or would ever be in my home at night,
unless that person broke in.
So, the question is, should a blind or legally blind person own and/or use
a gun for personal protection / self-defense in the home?  If not, how
should we protect ourselves?  And PLEASE, don't say "Dial 9-1-1."  That's
like saying "Just die and accept it."  No thanks.
