Private property owners should be able to ban guns from their property if they want to. It would be kind of stupid, however. Criminals won't obey the ban.

As I said, homicides in the home are more likely to be done by someone you know -- spouse, neighbor, friend, etc. And how many people are killed in their home by accidental shootings?
I am not on my soapbox. If you or anyone else feels safer with a gun in the home for protection, do it. If I lived in an area that was high-crime I too would consider owning a handgun. Since I do not, I see absolutely no need for one.
