Sounds like everyone pretty much agrees that you should be allowed. I own a handgun as well. I don't carry it with me anywhere. Me being a single female living alone, if anyone were to ever break into my apartment I feel that I would need to protect myself, so I have it in there. I just think people should be safe, but it's your choice as long as you are licensed to do so. I as well grew up around guns though. My father hunted all the time when I was younger, and my mom had a hand gun as well. I learned from an early age about guns. My parents always felt the need to educate me young, so I wouldn't get myself hurt or in trouble.
