Regarding my last poll on unsafe elderly drivers 86% (wow!) of us voted that there should be mandatory drivers tests every few years for elderly drivers starting at a set age.

The elderly population is such a large and powerful portion of the population that they hold huge political power. Imagine being the polititian that suggests this new law...it would be political suicide. For now, we will have to watch out for the Buicks and Lincolns out there!
The new poll is regarding guns in the home. After a close friend had a little bit of a scare (with a drunken man angrily cursing, pounding on their front door, and trying to get in their home) I have had some discussions with people about whether they have a gun in their home or whether they would consider it. How about you? Vote!

My argument for our family is that the chances of something like that, what happened to your friend, happening to us is so so so small. I believe in the old school of calling 911. If we had a gun in a hidden, safe, locked place, then someone barged into my house, I doubt I would be able to get to the gun to actually use. I think its more hazardous that my children might figure out a way to get to it and hurt themselves or someone else. Plus, I don't necessarily believe I am the sole person responsible for my life. :)
