Should law abiding people be allowed to carry a firearm on their person either concealed or in the open . and should a person have the right to use deadly force to protect their home and property, example you catch a buglar in your home at night why should you be punished because you used deadly force to protect yourself

Yes I agree with all the above statement. Back in the late 1800's around that era, most people carried guns. Crime was very low because if you robbed the dry goods store, chances were your gonna catch a bullet on the way out. If everyone carried guns crime rates would drop dramatically out of fear. I'm being somewhat imaginative, but I think it would make people think twice before committing a crime.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

But seriously, yes it does work without guns, but guns can also be a very strong deterrent. The problem is that criminals have guns, what happens when good citizens can't get them anymore?
What happens when a corrupt government want's to take control of the people? How can you fight back? I believe you must fight fire with fire, but I respect your opinion and know my opinion isn't the only way.

Of course guns should be allowed in self defense. Thieves aren't going to mug someone who has a gun. Yet criminals get guns black market.. so it's a justified defense. Yet there are politicians who would prefer to have a gun ban for certain people.. there are over one million people on that list! do these people not deserve to defend themselves.. and if so, then why are they not in prison?

Just look around you at the people on this site. Would you like them running around with a gun in their hip pocket? I don't think so.

It's just ridiculous to have to give up the ability to protect yourself or family from government or criminals.

Yes to both. You (your person)is where property begins. Survival is the ultimate need. If you do not survive, everything else is moot. You have the right to protect your property, starting with you and all of your expansion which is an expression of you.
In my opinion, you should be able to use whatever is available to protect yourself and property and that includes guns.
