Yeah, I sometimes agree that guns are overrated when I realize how much money they suck up for how little you actually use it. Mine was just sitting there for about 3 months before I shot it this weekend. But in the spirit of what Phil said, I prefer to be part of the "Keep Virginia Zombie Free" coalition, just in case SHTF.
In regards to proving manhood, or the alpha-male argument, I think practically everything is just one big pissing match. Cars, guns, sports, lawns, and even golf. (Golf is actually the worst IMO)
