I first saw that in Michael Moore's documentary "Bowling for Columbine" and at first I didn't even understand what he was talking about. "Locking your door?" I thought. "Sure, everyone locks their door when they go out of the house. Oh.. they lock their door when they're inside?" That makes no sense to me.
Unless some guy made a death threat to you, why would you be constantly on your guard? Doesn't that take the joy out of life? I don't want to live like a samurai whose head is constantly about to be chopped off.
But then I live in Quebec City Canada, population 500 000, where a year with 2 murders is a bad year, so obviously I can't relate...

It's just that on the whole, violence around here seems so remote that I'm always surprised to hear stories about home invasion and keeping guns in the house and locking your door while you're inside. I guess I just didn't realize that some of you guys have to deal daily with the very real possibility of being attacked.
