"Dear Tweeter,
A 140 character limit makes it impossible to have an intellectual debate.
Your first question was, "Why do people keep guns in their wardrobes?" Your second was, "Why do you keep guns in your house?"
As opposed to keeping them where? I prefer to keep my property where I can control it.
I think where you're going with this is, "Why have a gun at all?"
Well, that's more metaphysical. However, as I've discussed previously, guns are the single most effective way of defending oneself. Here's one of my links, with sources:
http://www.michaelzwilliamson.com/blog/item/rape the section on the effectiveness of firearms starts about a quarter of the way down the page."
Plus he even throws in a little quiz to PROVE just how ignorant they are of Firearms.

What Anti-Gun Advocates don't understand - UPDATED
"NEW YORK (AP) — The college student was being held in a headlock by a masked intruder with a loaded gun to her head, police said. Then the gunman took aim at an officer.
A moment later both Hofstra University junior Andrea Rebello and the intruder were dead — killed after a split-second decision that is perhaps the most harrowing in law enforcement: when to pull the trigger."
Police aren't the magical sure shots like Hollywood would like you to believe. They can and DO miss their target. And innocent bystanders can pay the price. Many gun grabbers would have you believe that only the police are trained to protect you and that magic badge on their chest grants them magical powers to never miss, never shoot the wrong person.
I know from personal experience that many officers can barely qualify. And many departments are so broke that officers have to pay for their own practice ammo. With the cost of ammunition so high even before the latest run, many officer wouldn't even practice.
When I was in law enforcement I would put between 150 to 200 rounds through my pistol every month. I was friends with officers who only fired their weapons at the twice yearly qualification. That was it. 50 rounds of ammo, twice a year. I shot more than that every month.
And the anti gunners will say that "I" am not qualified to protect myself with a firearm.
I'm sorry that it takes something like this to point out just how fragile the belief in the magic power of a badge actually is.

Why High Capacity "Clips"
Mitch Berg has a conversation with an Anti-Gunner.
"LIBRELLE: That seems kinda high-capacity – the founding fathers never thought of it when they were writing the Constitution – but OK…(Reads article) OK, but the woman survived, and the criminal’s in jail!
ME: Read closer. It was one burglar. She shot six times, hitting the guy five times, in the face and neck. Which, by the way, is pretty good shooting under that kind of stress. So think about it; that’s five shots, in the face and neck with a serious-caliber pistol, and the guy lived. And there are cases of people surviving many, many hits by serious bullets and living to tell the tale. One bullet can kill someone instantly – if it hits the brain stem – but a person can still function just fine if they’re hit in the heart, for a few seconds anyway. Hits in the lungs, liver, stomach, muscle tissue? If they’re high enough, or dissociative enough, or drunk enough, or have enough adrenaline going, they may not even know they’ve been hit until they collapse from blood loss.
Remember the book Black Hawk Down? There were stories of Rangers hitting Somali attackers with armor piercing bullets from their M-16 rifles – which are like AR15s, only they can fire full-automatic, like machine guns, and each of their bullets has five times the hitting power of that woman’s pistol – and they didn’t even know it, since they were high on adrenaline and qat.
LIBRELLE: OK, so what? The woman lived."
